Pioneer PL-570 Overhang Gauge Dimension?

[Old Guy8]

Just aquired Pioneer PL570 at garage sale. Too late to go back and ask about missing Overhang Gauge and Add-on counterweight.
Does anyone know what the overhang gauge dimention would be to the headshell mount shoulder? Downloaded manual does not mention dimension.
Plan on useing an original stylus Shure M95 I bought in 70's.
Nice table, even with the vinyl. Pardon junk on workbench.
Thanks

It's probably 49mm from the headshell gasket to the stylus tip. Here's a pic of a Technics gauge I have marked with a 49mm line to set my Pioneer PL-530 stylus.

BTW: Very cool TT you have there. Nice find.

Very nice table and yes 49 mm from gasket to stylus tip.

Thanks for responses. I think I'll order a reproduction Technics gauge. Then fine tune with protractor.
I posted details of my find yesterday in Dollars and Sense. Repeating again could be seen as in poor taste.
Thanks again for nice comments. Can't wait to get this heavy monster lined out and listen to it and Shure I have not used since about '79.

The Technics is 52 mm overhang, so if you use that know you will have to come up with a 3 mm spacer to slide on the end.

Here is an illustration.

Revox and Balifly,
thanks for dimension info. I have a dial calipers to use for marking distance on gauge.

Thanks to posters for your help getting this table going. I bought a Technics 52mm gauge. Used a dial calipers and scribe to mark 49 mm line on gauge. My Shure M95ed cart was a little taller than original ADC. Gave me a little tribulation when it touched record on return. Since raised the cueing. It is a worn record for setup. Still need to raise the tonearm to level it better. Then try some better Records.
Thanks again.

Don't know if you aware of the VTA adjustment feature - thumb screw on the tone arm vertical support near the base.

Balifly,
Thanks,Yes. Ran out of time this evening, and with tornado warnings. We Hunkered down.
Will check it out tomorrow.

Will also look into some ideas on cartridge choices for it, instead of a Jico eliptical or SAS for the M95 stylus. Original stylus I'm useing is ok but will need to be replaced.
I have AT440mla, Grado M+, and Shure M91 vivid microline carts on other turntables. May try something different on PL570.
