If the CPU's broken, surely you can get that ...
The ROM's are probably pin-compatible with some flavor of EPROM, and somebody,
somewhere, surely has the working ROM's ...
If you can locate that stuff, perhaps it will be easier to effect repairs than
to find the complete and functional heart/lung/brain, eh?

Subject: CBM 8032 SK
In order to
stimulate conversation: Does anyone have a Commodore 8032
mainboard in known working condition that they'd be willing to part with?
I've recently acquired an 8032-SK, but the CPU is dead, two ROMs are
missing, and even adding known working replacements is not enough to breath
life back into this poor wee beastie. So it's got to be a heart/lung/brain
transplant for it - for now, at least.
eBay actually has two:
One from Germany:

and one from the US:

Both still have very low prices...
