Help on Retrofitting LeBlond

Anyone out there in the vicinity of central Oklahoma who might be
interested in taking a look at a Leblond lathe? I am interested in
possibly retrofitting it to a PC based control,but I have no
experience in such things. I had planned to use the machine in my
start-up business before the control(GE-1050HLB)went down.I'm not
sure if I need the hobbiest type retrofit as this is a big lathe and
I plan to be doing lots of threading and heavy work on it.I had
posted earlier and have been trying to get the original control up,
but it looks hopeless.Just hoping someone might be near me who could
either retrfit it for me or point me in the right direction.
