3.5V on D2 is perfectly OK, there is a 10K resistor is series and the
voltage is only 5V. This leaves less than 1mA so the Zener voltage is
not even reached. Furthermore you cannot check it with the DVM; most
DVMs can measure up to 2V in the diode check range.
Did you ever make the following test (MANUAL mod, all knobs fully CCW):
turn up a single knob to max and measure the corresponding 4051 demux
output.
For your reference and clarification here is a list which knob drives
which 4051 pin (on KLM-367):
knob IC pin
Effects Speed 18 13
VCF Cutoff 18 14
VCF EG Int 18 15
VCF Resonance 18 12
EG Attack 18 1
EG Decay 18 5
EG Sustain 18 2
EG Release 18 4
VCF KBD Track 19 13
PW / PWM Depth 19 14
PWM Speed 19 15
MG Speed 19 12
MG Delay 19 1
MG Level 19 5
Each output should swing from -5V to +5V over the range of the knob.
Important for getting information about the root cause of the fault is
that you measure ∗each∗ of the pins when turning the knobs. In this way
you can easily detect if and which knobs are tied together (assuming
e.g. that one address line is stuck).
Next thing is to check for continuity of the P20, P21, P22, INH1, INH2,
and the DATA lines from their generation (P20-P22, INH1: CPU IC22,
INH2: IC23, DATA: R37) to KLM-370/371. CN11 is prone to failure after
battery leakage. Additionally leaked battery acid might have crawled
through the thick GND wire up to KLM-371 and damaged PCB traces and/or
IC leads there. It is important not only to check continuity but also
shorts against GND, VCC, neighbouring pins and traces.
Good luck!
