just to update,I found a solution to being unable to find a dip package 74HCT9114,I managed to source the surface mount version,and ended up using an adapter like this:
yes it's not pretty but it works!,and the chip can be easily removed if it fails again at some point rather than soldering it to a surface mount converter
similar it's a soic/sop 28 adapter,plus I had to get one with the narrow header pins,as a lot of them have the wide pin width which was no good for my needs
