You're completely right, I mixed up de freq's.

But I think I got the picture now.
I found a software tuner, and connected the Polysix to the computer, and tuned the oscillators.
It's much more accurate then with the scope I found out.
All but 1 oscillator is in 0,2 cent now.
That one oscillator could not be tuned high enough, because the pot was at max or min. So I think I'll have to check out the other parts in that oscillator.

Learned a lot again this evening :-)
In a few day's I can continue.
