Default Windup Clock Drive?

I seem to recall seeing windup sidereal tracking drives on some
older telescopes from before the days of cheap electronics.
Anyone still make these? Seems like it would still be a good
choice for a portable setup, not have to worry about batteries,
wiring, etc. And especially, not being interested in goto,
compensating for Earth's rotation is about the only task my
drive ever does.
