Might be worth a drive then, they could do some upgrades while it was there. If you're handy with a screwdriver, you might check the connector in the wheel assembly.
Tuning can be difficult without the right tools. But when you say Osc. 1 is out, can't you use the fine-tune to bring it back? Is the keyboard out of scale (gets sharp or flat as you play up higher)?

Second check the cable connections on the pitch and mod wheels. If they are loose hit them with some RTV silicone to hold them in place. If your Voyager had a field upgrade of the wheels it is very likely just loose cables.
