2001 ThyssenDover/Thyssenkrupp Traditional Hydraulic Elevator at 206 Ashland Ave (Asheville NC)

This elevator was installed around Late 2001 and wasn't tested until Very Early 2002. This is a late ThyssenDover or a VERY early ThyssenKrupp. The lack of Dover Blue in the shaft and the Interlock leads to the latter, but there is a good bit of ThyssenDover qualities, like the Incandescent Lights in the Lantern plus a Mechanical Bell, which rings up/down and acts as a floor pass. This thing acts weird like some later Mid 2000's TK/Vertical Express elevators (in fact, it might be an Early Vertical Express): the indicator changes instantly before the elevator even moves, it chimes as soon as it arrives on the floor, and it chimes up/down instantly despite no input. This might be on a Northern controller, which is strange. An interesting elevator for sure and the Bell definitely makes this a lot more better.
