Not just the gauge, but also the funky adapter to connect it to the OD.

Of course, you can make your own adapter by buying a spare valve plug, then
drilling it and welding a fitting to it; but last I checked, a new plug is
over $25, and a decent glycerin-filled gauge is $20, and Jay also supplies a
hose ...

Or if you have access to a lathe, you could try machining your own adapter.
I just did that for my J-type (which is simpler than the A-type) ... if I
factor in wear and tear on the lathe, I made less than minimum wage on the
job.  But it's a hobby, right ?
