the "bintage" version is the fc-mc34. originally a triple but with the inner mounted to a custom middle ring - now a 94bcd double, e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196176887594

Like @Josh says, a triple set up as a double with a double (road) front derailleur works perfectly.
I’m using the Spa triple as a double (42/26) with a modern 105 front derailleur and it shifts great. Bonus points for the integrated barrel adjuster.
Can you not just use a triple crankset with the chainrings on the middle and inner rings? Maybe not the most aesthetically pleasing.
Will a standard shimano front mech be ok with such a big drop between chainring sizes? ie from 46 to 30?
