Well, I can't answer that one - at the time when most of these synths 
were built, I was still wetting my pants. By the time I started going to 
concerts, the digital revolution had already happened.

But reading reports from the old bands like Tangerine Dream, it seems 
that they constantly fought against tuning issues. And everybody seemed 
very keen to adopt the digital synths - so they obviously addressed a 
real need, and tuning was mentioned as one of these more than once...

I don't think tuning got much worse with age, if maintained properly.
