Since I was here, and many of you elevator geeks like this elevator, this is the TX-30 take of the Beckwith (Monty) Hydraulic Freight Elevator, in the Conlon Fine Arts Building, Fitchburg State University, Fitchburg, Massachusetts.
Unfortunately, due to construction, it appears the lift was beat  up a little, as the panels were rattling in-transit. The ride is still fairly smooth.
I try to use "Shock Cam" to help isolate the epic hydraulic pump, from the rattles. It worked a little.
Also get to see the pre-door opening I never noticed before, or forgot about. Only does it on the down trips.
