The "Pioneer overhang gauge is way off" you say but you're using a non-Pioneer headshell? Obviously, the Pioneer gauge is expecting that you'll be using the stock tonearm and headshell. If not, then all bets are off. Do you think that somehow the gauge on the plinth will know what headshell you are using?

The ADC headshell is set up for an ADC tonearm and nothing else. These things are not universal.

If you can't get an alignment gauge set up for the Pioneer PL-15D II then you can't just use any old gauge you want. Alignment gauges are custom made as it were for the geometry of the exact TT and Tonearm combination.

I'd put the stock headshell on the tonearm and use the stock Pioneer PL-15D II overhange gauge on the plinth. That's your best bet.

Or maybe you should buy a modern TT with a current and easily found alignment gauge available???
