[NM][Happy Eid Mubarak and Ascension Day!] Toshiba Elevators and Escalators · Metro Center, Semarang

*Date taken:* February 5, 2021
*Updates:*
- *August 2022:* This elevator has been modernized by Pillar, probably during a renovation about a year ago. RIP Toshiba 1991-2021 (30 years).
- *February 2023:* According to Setiap Gedung Punya Cerita, Metro Center was opened in January 1992.

Sorry for the lack of content as I have no time to upload videos yesterday.

Now with an intro! So this run down plaza has a scenic elevator, which is a Toshiba originating from the 1990s. Despite the plaza's condition, this elevator have touchless buttons. So far this is the only elevator with full-touchless buttons I have found in Semarang. Doors on the 1st and 4th floor are banging the most, since the 1st floor is the ground floor and the 4th floor is where Miramar (a restaurant) resides. Oh, back to the touchless, did you note that the Alarm button has a touchless button too?

Also includes a quick "walk" of the derelict escalators. It looks like the escalators have been derelict for a long time. My mother said that the escalators were already derelict on her first visit back in the early 2000s.

Happy (late) Eid Mubarak 1442 H and Ascension Day of Jesus Christ!

Mirip dengan lift di atrium Tunjungan Plaza 1 yg sudah dibongkar . Di TP1 pakai OTIS ukuran lebih besar

Never knew this mall before.

Rada mirip² sama Istana Pasar Baru di mana malnya sendiri juga sepi, tapi liftnya lumayan apik (Otis Spec60 scenic)

Tumben2an Emergency Call dikasih touchless min (soalnya metode tsb jarang banget)
