Odd Thyssenkrupp / Vertical Express Hydraulic Elevator - 73 Kaiser Wilnoty Drive (Cherokee, NC)

For a building that I was expecting to have an Otis or Schindler Hydro, I was shocked to find a TK Vertical Express install. It has early MAD BP Classic buttons that have a very mushy press to them, which is completely different from how modern BP Classic buttons push. Runs well and quick.
