I was able to remove one of the ground contacts and place it in the middle
position. Since those pins are both at ground potential, I used a wire
bridge on the connector end of the VCO board. The unit is working ok now.

Great bit of sleuthing Pete- thanks for sharing.
I had a problem with my R7 unlocking at low freqs- wish I could recall the
fix- too many years ago, but it was also a devil of a problem to locate.
