Sorry Jules 

There is no ROM in the lathe it is just in the BBC.
As for the engineering route I have and still am scouring machine shops
and engineering websites. So far no success.

So the lathe has an identical ROM carrier? What happens if you remove
that
carrier and just use the ROMs as-is in both the BBC and the lathe?

What happens if you use the carrier from the lathe in the BBC - does the
software behave any differently? 

If the carrier in the lathe is identical to what should be in the BBC,
maybe
it's worth putting the word out on some of the engineering newsgroups
for a
broken lathe of that type that would source one of those carriers - you
might
get lucky!

cheers

Jules
