Yamaha SY-2 Mono Synth new

I have just recovered my long lost Yahama SY-2 synth from the loft of my parents home, where it must have spent the last 25 years.

http://www.hollowsun.com/donations/sy2/index.html

Amazingly after many years of disuse it seems to be fully functional, the only glitch seems to be a tuning problem, the interval between notes is not correct. As its an old analogue mono synth with a VCO I assume there will be an adjustment somewhere for this. Anyone have any ideas?

I have found Yamaha's build quality, over the years, to be very high. If only they didn't let their engineers design the UI and write their manuals.....
