I would probably replace A1 (LM1458) first. I'm under the impression that
the quality of opamps has improved significantly. Some Odysseys I worked on
immediately got more stable after replacing the opamps in hte CV circuit.
One could even substitute it with one of the higher quality opamps; however
there might not be any significant improvements.
