I agree with this. A friction shifter for the front derailleur is great.

Alternatively, go to your local coop, they're bound to have a shifter that'll work for you. (Or a shifter/derailleur combo, or a derailleur/crank/shifter combo.)

If it were me, I'd just make something work by converting a triple shifter into a double by screwing in the limit screws. Or, I'd get one of the old school "indexed" FD shifters that were essentially friction, they just happened to have a small indent where the "indexed" spot was.

Lots of options. Some better than others. It all depends on how "good" you want it to be.
