VTF gauge

Trying to find a VTF gauge that had the measuring pad at the height of the album. Measuring VTF at the exact height of the album is critical. I have looked at numerous scales on line and none of them clearly states the height of the measuring pad. Can anyone recommend a scale that puts the measuring pad at the height of the album?

Thanks

Love my Rega also but it and the old Shure which I also have do not address the issue at hand, which is to be able to set the tool so as to adjust a level arm and not to have to raise or lower arm to match the tool to achieve the task at hand. Enjoy the music

I haven't run across any scale that you could shim as they have all raised the arm to high. I was just looking for one as the OP recently with no success. I like to set up with 180 gram vinyl to get my basic setting as I have small adjustments available as I fine tune ( by ear ) later. Enjoy the music

@imhififan , thanks for that, the first option of the Riverstone product looks like a winner and should be easy enough to check for accuracy with what I use now. Enjoy the music

Just for the record, the Riverstone absolutely solved the problem for me as it does exactly what I need it to do for a price of $28.00. Not sure of what reboot someone mentioned or consequences I might of subjected myself to. Enjoy the music

@lewm , after looking at the Ortofon models that you and @chakster mention, I do believe I would like them better than the Riverstone which I purchased, simply based on the fact of no assembly required with them, but I do find solace in the fact that the Riverstone does work well and is accurate. Enjoy the music
