A pragmatic solution is to either build a new spindle (as a benchtop lathe, the spindle shouldn't be very big) with a common taper whilst preserving the original spindle for posterity, or to have the original spindle bored by a cnc shop to a more common taper.
OR... just had a thought. Speaking of CNC shops, you could pay someone to whip up a few spindle taper adaptors, if not a dozen or more blank shanks which can be adapted to whatever use further down the road. And you'd get them out of whatever material you want such as 4140.
