Yes but this one uses a easily obtained spring and can be made at

Goodness, I've got three of these around the farm. I used car leaf
springs to zero balance very heavy things. I didn't even think it was
worthy of a note to RCM as they are so common. Guess I should have got
a patent about 20 years ago when I built the first one.
