One can often fudge up a tail stock, using one a little smaller and making a riser that fits from it to the bed way.. one made out of Hardwood may be adequate....
And painted nobody would know it is wood.
and if you ever find the right one you can sell the fudged-up one.
One might be able to put an end mill cutter in the lathe spindle and use the cross feed to mill the riser to size and shape..

I assume you've tried Grizzly? You can download parts lists for their machines and even if they no longer list that machine there will certainly be a newer model that's probably made from the same casting. Their support number may even be able to give you some help with measuring parts they have in stock.
I did talk to their Support team and was recommended to this site by them. Typical larger company really do not want to help. lol

This should probably be said in a whisper, but I've bought stuff from them that wasn't even for one of their lathes. Different badge but pretty similar specs so I got the metric change gears from Grizzly. Yeah, I have one or two spares that aren't the right gears, but they actually took one or two back in exchange for others. You may just need to work the system harder since you clearly got one employee who didn't really care. Get the specs for your machine and look at the specs for machines they list now. You can probably even get some parts for machines they no longer sell but still have stock for. Alternatively, try the same strategy with other sellers of Chinese lathes. If yours is a little older it may well have been a Taiwan machine and they still make them there.

A while back we had a thread where the Op said his machine was descended so parts were not available..yet another possibility with certain manufacturers.

Right? As I read that I was thinking to myself: "Talk about stepping on your own dick!"

Of course, today's Practical Machinist's email "News from our Sponsors" has the headline: Price Drop Alert! Grizzly Has Lowered Thousands of Prices!

Isn't Grizzly just a rebranded item made who knows where in China? Wouldn't that make getting parts problematic? Probably better to just take measurements and find something on E-bay and make it fit.
I took a triple take when that email showed up…

I actually searched for Grizzly to see if anyone brought up that email and here I am. Not that I really care, but I guess that means the bans lifted?

I think not. This is from Monday.
CENTRAL MACHINERY 9X20 FROM 2016
played with model airplanes 50 yrs got burned out back in 2000 and picked up a grizzly 4x6 micro lathe and learned to make a few things. moving ahead to 2001 snagged a 7x14 asian lathe just to see how I got along which was successful. but wanted something that could do more with more power so...

That thread was not about Grizzly, it was about a "Central Machinery" branded lathe from Harbor Freight.

Same basic stuff on the low end.
Your point is not the same.

Ok Doug, whatever you say...
Your mixing up "hobby lathe" with "all grizzly products"
As a "roving super mod" I find your post very disparaging.
