Well, I suppose that makes it a collectable!  I've just had another 
fiddle with it and noticed the screw trimmer accessed through the hole 
in the back of the case, the MIDI to CV scaling I believe, and this has 
let me fix it.  I don't think I've got it set exactly right but at least 
it is not playing 13 semitones to the octave now!
