I found that the trim pot most responsible for scaling was VR3 on the KLM-366B board, although it's a balancing act between VR1/VR2/VR3/VR15. If you can't get an octave to sound properly when playing an octave, and VR3 doesn't have enough range to correct it, then you have another problem. When I had a bad photocoupler (PC1, a P1501), octaves were always stretched. If I played up an octave, it would sound a semitone or two higher than it should and VR3 couldn't be adjusted far enough to correct this.
