Yes, rubberbands came to mind, and though I think the rubber pulley
belts may be less stretchy, I still think it may be a bit much for
the load.  I *will* give it a try.

I'd also thought of string, but even using the official Lego winch string
seems a little tacky -- not quite the elegant and surprising solution
I was wanting to find. :-)   Still, a thoughtful reply.  Thanks, Tim.
