DIY probing

Anyone have plans or ideas for an inexpensive shop-built contact probe?

I keep being amazed by cheap import indicators (plunger and lever
style) and being tempted to try to detect the needle position
optically. Say put a thin sheet metal flag on the needle that will
block a photointerrupter like used for home switches... or even put a
rotary encoder wheel on the indicator.
