It may be worth having an oboe repair specialist re-voice/re-tune the instruments for you.
This process is usually not expensive. About half a dozen oboe specialist technicians in the US can accomplish this task.

I recently sold a Loree oboe made in 1918 (KK series) to an oboe professor friend of mine. This oboe has all the modern professional key-work, except no 3rd octave key (left F was added).
This oboe was played professionally most of its life, though meticulously cared for. Most of the original bore polish was still intact, and the bore is in amazing condition, straight, true, and without any signs of damage. The sound of this oboe is ethereal. I surmise that this instrument still has lifetimes of music left to play...
