Default DRO - Shooting star scales Q

I have a Shooting Star DRO setup that someone has tried to mount to a
minilathe, so the long scale is cut down. I need to use it with my
millrite so need a longer scale. This uses a fine-tooth rack that the
encoder reads. Shooting Star wants $100 for a 48" length of this rack,
plus $35 shipping. Seems high, but maybe that's the going price. Is
there an alternate source that might be cheaper?

Followup - are there other scales that can be used with this head?
The cables terminate in RJ11 or RJ12 clips at the DRO readout head.
