Maybe worth to buy a REALLY defective Plus/4 or even C16 really cheap. Usually the TED or the CPU gives up, sometimes PSU or RAM. I think PLA is the Top3 or Top4, but usually ROMs are OK.
So, I think there is a high chance(>70-80%), that from one or two really defective C16s/+4 you can repair this one's PLA + ROM (and there would be a low chance to have finally a spare TED or a spare CPU). I think BASIC ROM is equivalent in C16, PLA is the same, the U25 I am not sure. (I am not on my normal PC to doublecheck document)
BTW there is a retrofit (more reliable) PLA available, but absolutely not cheap.
