35mm Overhang Gauge for straight tonearms with ADC headshells
thingiverse
I created a similar part to fit smaller, straight tonearm ADC-style headshells, reminiscent of the Technics overhang gauge. These were common on many tables in the 80s, but not all shared the same spacing requirement. This specific tool has a 35mm spacing that matches the Denon DP-35F, DP-37F, and DP-45F perfectly. I find the manual's overhang gauge to be somewhat amusing, as I've never actually seen one in person. The manual clearly states that the cartridge body should align parallel to the angled part of the headshell, with the stylus tip 35mm away from the front edge of the connector - this tool makes it easy to achieve that. Please note that this tool is NOT suitable for the DP-47F, 51F, 52F, or 61F as those require a ~38mm spacing instead. If you know any other turntables with different spacing requirements, feel free to let me know so I can add them to my list. For shorter tonearms (about 4mm shorter), this tool may not be suitable if your cartridge height exceeds 19mm - in that case, use the tall version instead.
