Steve, I just noticed that you're in Stumptown. I've run into a couple places with collections of cup & cone spindles:

Citybikes (both locations on Ankeny)
CCC (Alberta & 17th)
Recyclery (SE 9th and other locations.

Back in the day, we'd tell people to bring in the part and we'd match it up- there's so many variations that looking at the part is the most reliable method.

I have a set of Shimano bottom bracket cups in my bin o' parts- I'll see what spindle goes with them. I've been running them with a Sugino 113mm spindle for a while.
