I have used what RB has posted; that works just fine.
If the balancer is on the engine, i have used something like this:
I have both in my tool box and both work equally well. I prefer to use the first, however.
For getting TDC compression i use a starter interrupt switch and bump it over, then i manually bring it to TDC once i find the compression stroke.
