You could try slipstreaming SP2 into your SP1 installation and creating a new disc. Then install Recovery Console as usual.

d:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons where d is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive.

I need to put the recovery console back on, but my disk is SP1a and my rev
level is SP2. HIJACK This keeps complaining, plus Spybot asserts that there's
one problem with a program in memory that it can't get to. How do I get
Recovery Console for SP2 ?
