TWO Epic OTIS Lexan Hydraulic Elevators at the Gillette Motel in Gatlinburg, TN
(October 2023) Here you have TWO amazing vintage OTIS Lexan elevators to ride. FOR SOME REASON! The audio has some issues in the first elevator but is fine in the second. I have NEVER had this issue with an iPhone video and I hope it does not happen again. Either way you have a VERY rare indicator to see in the first elevator!

Yep it is pretty rare! Most of the time they are not working.
That's right, folks-the nixie tubes!

These are actually edge-lit display, which was often confused with the nixie tubes (which looks similar).

Ok
I've seen an otis (early 80s) that used a LED matrix type display, but instead of LEDs each 'hole/slot' had a neon lamp inside it! (i.e this was a "neon lamp matrix"). It flickered as well. Never seen this type though, looks like some kind a nixie tube.

That indicator could be the edge-lit display which mimics the nixie tube look, so thats why some of them are burned out instead of all of them.

For the nixie tube, it can be done by using color filters, but this one here used edge-lit display which have the small glass for the numbers (or the incandescent lamp) colored with red (or by using the color filter). And I know that was the edge lit one cuz I do some research in a wiki and apparently the "3" was burned out.
