Given that the manufacturer when they designed the tool in the late 60's (I
bought it around 1973) used a now totally non-standard JT#2-1/2 taper, what
chance do you think there would be that the spindle/arbor would be
replaceable with a modern variety?

{NOTE: The AMT "Instruction Manual" parts diagram calls it a "spindle"
which is where I'm getting my terminology from}
