Narrow repeatable stops with standard domino?

I borrowed my friends domino XL one time, and really liked the various pins for repeatable stop spacing. My regular domino of course just has the flaps. That’s fine for the first mortise from the edge, but not very useful for repeatable mortises.  I have the Cross stops, and those are fine, but in this case, I need two mortises that are closer than 4 inches/100mm together.  It’s on a table leg, so I can’t do it from either end, just from one end. Is there any way to do this? I’d like to use machine spacing versus pencil marking for the four legs and four aprons.

I searched online and saw something called the MGS–20, the multiposition guide stop, which looks like it would be perfect for what I need, but it also looks like it is no longer available anywhere to purchase.

Thank you
 
You may be able to find an original pin-style fence for the DF-500; they come up from time to time in the classifieds and on eBay.

I have an MGS-20 Multi-position Guide Stop from RTS Engineering (with the owner's manual) that I'd be willing to sell you. I do all my work with the 700 these days. Please private message me and make me an offer along with payment method, and shipping info. I'll be glad to help you out. It's a very nicely made metal product and mine is in good condition. Just a little dust on it.

He has pretty much disappeared. I was trying to buy one, back around the time of the end of production, and e-mailed back and forth with him several times. He told me there was a never/better version coming soon. For whatever reason though, that never materialized and you still can't get the old one.
That was years ago, maybe 5+?
