Pick up the baby + basket a few times with one hand to calibrate yourself, then find a spring that feels right at the same force in the store. You could make two small rope or strap loops to hook onto the spring so you can pull it hard enough.
Where in Germany? I was stationed in Heidelberg and Heilbronn and drove all over Bayern fixing comm sites.

Thanks!
Or a highly amused one, or maybe inquisitive, as in, "WTF???". ;-)
Cheers! Rich
I'm in Cologne. A lot cloudier than where you were! What store? A friend suggested the same thing. I was like "yeah, I think there's a specialty spring store just behind the shopping center. I'll just pop over there and see what they have." He said, "no, I just mean the DIY". "Well," I said, "I don't think you've spent much time in one lately if you think there is going to be a large assortment of springs there except for specific replacement applications like garage doors." Maybe not everyone lives like this, but how many of you out there could even go out and buy a 1/4-20 tap in a local store? I mean a real polished hss single tap and not a bs import kit? Brick and mortar is dead, and good riddance, imo. It never was any good.
Sounds like you need a bough spring...
Rock-a-bye, baby, in the tree tops When the wind blows, the cradle will rock When the bough breaks...
You get the idea.
Google shows seven lettered hits for "Baumarkt Koeln" and "Heimwerkerbedarf Koeln".

Just don't believe that 20 pound rating on the box...
Surly you jest?
How would the weight change id the caca is inside or outside the baby???
That's when you resort to smell-o-vision! Gerry :-)} London, Canada
Yes -- but that will be most likely an "Ace" brand carbon steel, not HSS. (At least still US made. :-)
Now -- if you are talking about metric sizes -- that is a different matter.
Enjoy, DoN.
How often do you see a 'Metric' baby? ;-)
Main halyard stretches about 3 feet with a 140 pound load
:)
About as often as I see a 1/4-20 baby. :-)
Granted, the subject line no longer matches the content, but what is new about that? :-)
Enjoy, DoN.
Nothing, but sometimes the subject & the drift are funny. :)
