RARE Elevator with Insane Motor - Shepard-Warner/OTIS Traction @ Beal Building - Duluth, MN

This is one of my favorite elevators in downtown Duluth. Despite only serving 4 floors, they installed a very heavy duty Shepard Warner traction. It was modded in the late 80s or 90s by OTIS. They appeared to have replaced the controller but kept the original motor. They likely altered the motor though to run off variable frequency and set the acceleration curve very slow. These factors contribute to the incredible motor sound this thing produces. I have absolutely no clue what buttons this used to have before OTIS modded it. They used custom series 1 for the mod which is rare in itself to see. There are only 2 Shepard Warners in Duluth that I know of, with the other having a more thorough mod by R&O. Why the Ohio based company was installing in Duluth remains a mystery, but damn did they did a good job at it.
