@Mouse and others. I took you up on the suggestion and purchased a Korg CM-200 contact microphone and I received it today. The jaw opens to about 1-1/4” and is rubber coated to provide a non-marring surface. It is provided with a five foot cable complete with a 1/4” diameter amp jack. It does not require a battery.
I plugged it into my Korg OT-12 electronic tuner and attempted to tune my electronic 4/4 cello using the following locations: bridge, tail piece, end pin, and peg box. Response was immediate and it worked flawlessly in all locations. Thank you for the suggestion.

@Mouse and others. I have been following your various threads on your quest to find a cello, and it is apparent there is a sound you want to achieve. You can achieve that sound using a tuning fork. But if you rely on a electronic tuner, natural instrument resonance will be compromised if it cannot tune to perfect fifths.
This need not be expensive. Just keep searching the ubiquitous auction site until you see a Korg tuner that looks like the below photo with a bin price of about $20.

@Mouse and others. Given your provided purchasing constraint, I further looked into the problem.
I did not see anything useful in the FM shop. I was initially intrigued with the KLIQ Metropitch since it had individual instrument modes and a metronome, but a telephone call to the company quickly determined that the device electronic algorithm was always chromatic. The Korg OT-120 would be useful for your use and would mate with the Korg microphone, but does not contain a metronome.
It sounds like you are intent on ordering a TM-60c. If you have any interest in trying perfect fifth tuning, I will attempt a hack using my Korg OM12. You would have to recalibrate your tuner frequency setting for three strings (the A string will always be set to 440 herz). Alternately, if you indulge in the use of fingerboard pin stripes, it may be possible to hack the C string and tune the other strings based on the C string. Error using the last method currently unknown.
