I've developed a circuit just for this application: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34705319/Spindle Drive Interface Schematic.pdf
It does a fairly decent job. It gets within ~0.5% of full scale on both ends and has a linearity error of ~0.5%. In addition it has a couple of opto isolated control/feedback signals for spindle enable and a 'at speed' indication. Here are the Eagle files for it if you'd like to crib them: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/solnou6bjixmmp7/3b3ChzN0Wk I've even got a few bare PCBs and a couple of populated ones if you'd like to buy one.
