@Billten - you're not crazy - I have a set of these tuners like the ones you are seeking, but they are not for sale, but I have some info that might help...
Back on Apr 26, 2015, for $26 USD I purchased a set of this kind of tuner on ebay from seller 'eshow',
His page is here:
http://www.ebay.com/usr/eshow
They were listed as 'Schaller Ukulele Tuners Pegs Chrome finish with Pearloid Buttons' with ebay item #(121607826117).
I have attached a photo from the ebay listing:
I subsequently found that Grover has a set of friction tuners with springs inside like these as well that are in the $25-$35 range, but I dont remember if it was Stewmac or UkuleleWorld that was the seller.
This was after going to the local Mom & Pop hardware store and buying a handful of tiny springs in about a dozen different lengths, tensions and diameters, and trying with another handful of metal, rubber and plastic washers, to assemble something to improve upon the $15 Grover 4B friction tuners, using the 4B tuners as a baseline.
Despite hours of fiddling, and cutting down the springs to various and even shorter lengths, the end result was that I now still had too-fiddly tuners.
The springs made them easy to turn, but on a a tenor scale, tuned to re-entrant GCEA, there was too much tension, no matter what stack of bits I put together in almost 20 different combinations, and the strings would detune after about 5 seconds of bringing them up to pitch. There was just not enough friction. There is a very narrow sweet spot between 'just enough' tension to hold pitch and 'too much' tension making the tuner buttons difficult to turn.
In the end, I got a set of the $15 Grover 9NB geared tuners and installed them instead, since I really cannot deal with the frustration that friction tuners bring to my ukulele experience.
On a concert scale or soprano scale, the home-made spring-loaded and/or the Schaller tuners I got from eshow on ebay might work better due to less string tension, so I'm saving them for a future uke of either size.
I also remember, at least a year ago, fellow UU brother 'Sven' mentioned something about spring-loaded friction tuners in a few of his posts, so you might try to PM him and see if he has a source.
Hope this helps.
