I picked up an old Rockwell 46-140 (i think) 11" lathe. The headstock only accepts threaded accessories. I've looked around but can't find spur centers, etc for it (other than the one it came with). Any clues where to look? I checked Rockler, Grizzly, Woodcraft.

I picked up a Nova chuck, but would like to be able to use other things in there (live centers, drill chucks, etc).

I would like to clarify, since you mentioned having a NOVA chuck, which is used in the headstock, then Live Centre and Drill Chuck which normally go in the tailstock.

If you can thread a NOVA chuck onto the headstock, then you can purchase spur drives which can be used with the chuck.

Penn State link for example.

What is the size/taper of the tailstock?

Tailstock live centres from PSI.

This is an example of a drill chuck for the tailstock. Only places will have a different adapter than the MT2 in this link.
