PTL Modded 1988 Asheville Hydraulic Elevator at Rankin Avenue Parking Garage (Asheville, NC)

After 1.5 Years of Mod Hell, the mod is complete. Supposedly, Asheville Elevators did this mod, and likely the same with Wall Street. Sadly, I was a month too late from the original cab (and to ask for parts) and AdazElevatorz was the last to film it in it's original state. It definitely looked more unique originally compared to the original Wall Street Garage elevator.

Like the Wall Street Garage, this originally had Adam's Fixtures and got a complete mod with PTL Fixtures. Wall Street got done in a few months and was a fairly good mod, but this mod took 1.5 DAMN YEARS TO COMPLETE. I don't know if it was a lack of parts, techs, or what, but that's pretty pathetic that it took this long to get it done and working. This used to serve 5 floors, but now only serves 3.

The mod is virtually the same as Wall Street, with PTL Centurion buttons (the best VR button today), new machinery and motor, and an overall complete overhaul with a basic steel cab. This actually runs fairly well, but the overall quality elsewhere leads a bit to be desired. The Indicator glitched out and the exterior indicator doesn't even work. How come everything got done better at Wall Street in just a few months, while this was in mod hell and STILL feels incomplete???

While I prefer the modded cab at Wall Street Garage over the original, I think I prefer how the older cab was here was over this mod. While not a terrible mod by any means, I mean it operates and runs well, it's disappointing quality wise compared to the really good mod over at Wall Street Garage they handled better there than over here.

FUN FACT: The Chime used in the intro is actually from the Wall Street Garage, fitting enough!
