As long as the control has the ability to control a fourth axis, it may be just fitting and tuning an amplifier and motor.
If it does, I would look at fitting a modern amp such as A-M-C etc, these run in the more modern Torque mode so the motor does not need a tach like the Westamps. It is usually fairly straight forward to sub. one over.
Also you would need to know if the fourth axis encoder input is fixed resolution or configurable.
