Are There Headshell Overhang Gauges with a Scale? Say, 45mm to 55mm?

[Ron13a]

The reason I ask is that there are many Pioneer 49mm and Technics 52mm gauges available on the auction site. I have a SABA PSP 350 and it needs to be set at 46MM. Is there a gauge that has a scale on it so that it could be used universally? If not, is there a gauge from another turntable that is set to 46mm? If I'm unable to find one then that means that I'll be forced to use the Geo-Disc, this of course would tragically require effort as I'm a lazy slacker. Thank you for any information.

The one that gets shipped with the Denon DL110 has 50mm plus and minus 3. It would be easy enough to mark one or two lines in it, it's clear plastic

I've got one of those Denon gauges, very handy and it covers a lot of turntables in it's range.
I also found that if I align a cartridge using a protractor, and the cartridge is perfectly straight in the headshell after aligning it, I can slip the gauge on, record the dimension and use that to quickly set up another cart. Rechecking with the protractor and it's dead on.

I use a metric ruler…

Yes indeed. Should be a piece of cake to make one from a strip of stiff card or similar.

$10 electronic caliper from Harbor Freight. Just be careful not to bang it against the stylus tip.

I think it would be a neat tool to whip off on a 3D printer. I have thought about it before but I ain't got no newfangled gadget like that...yet!

I would really like something like this, that Denon gauge looks like it would work well. I just use a Technics 52mm gauge and a ruler, but it's not as convenient as I would like.

how about just fitting a spacer of the appropriate thickness over the connector and using that to space the gauge out?
