Default JT 2-1/2 Spindle Chuch replacement

Are you sure it isn't a J2 with a 1/2" capacity chuck?

Never heard of a J2-1/2

I've got a (roughly) 35 year old AMT (American Machine Tool) bench drill
press that's still working wonderfully and although I've thought
occasionally of replacing it with a more modern DP with conveniences like
a
larger table, a ratchet drive on the table and possibly even variable
speed,
I still can't bring myself to part with this marvelous piece of machinery.

BUT ... I'd like to purchase a better chuck. Some of the drilling I do
with
this beast is in the #70-80 range in both model working and PC board
manufacture and while I don't yet have the tool to measure the runout
(it's
been ordered), I think that I need something with a little better
precision,
even if a smaller range.

HOWEVER ... I don't think I've ever seen any product offered in the last
30
years for a JT#2-1/2. Is it a complete orphan or is something available?

TIA
