...actors ...doing a little bit of work for once...
We did this a couple of years ago. You don't really need to get a dial, or a moving platform, or any of that jazz to get the idea of an elevator. All you need is doors that slide in and out of the wall by themselves, and people will get the idea.
We built two empty doorways in the flats. On the back side, we put a track on which the doors would slide. The styrofoam doors were fitted with 2 wheels on the top which ran along the track. This made them slide. We then ran a fairly simple rope system which would open the doors as you pulled on one rope, and closed as you pulled on another.
