Ha!
The square wave kybrd gate thing reminds me of the "REPEAT" option in my old miniKorg 700 - designed to replicate the sound of mandolins,  etc!!! Cos that's what you wanted a monosynth to do back in 1974...
Some of the schematics remind me also of my SH2000 - e.g. the "staircase" wave forms associated with the ADSR.
Probably a similar vintage.
As Peter says, there could easily be a lot of bad joints in this thing.
My SH2000 gave me a lot of grief until I finally bit the bullet and laboriously re-flowed every joint on the main board... and then voila!
