It has no taper....Straight with a machined slot on one side. I tried
tapping the live center out but have a feeling it's either really stuck or
an integral part of the whole piece. I don't really know. I'll just have to
keep looking.
Just before I sent this I went to a site that had an exploded view of the
parts and it described part #30 as a dead center with a #1 morse taper
included......Sooo it must be stuck tight...Hmmmm. Wish I knew someone who
had this machine.

If it's a standard taper, there's all sorts of sources. If it's a Morse taper, try any
woodturning supplier (woodcraft, lee Valley, Craft Supplies). If it's a different
taper, I'd try a machinist supply (McMaster-Carr, MSC).
To figure out what it is, I'd go to http://www.owwm.com (the Old Woodworking Machines
group website), and dig around.

Pretty much any drill chuck with the right taper -- probably MT2 in this case,
but that's just a guess -- ought to work.
Try asking over at rec.crafts.woodturning, too.

A MT#2 is NOT going to fit in a MT#1
