Another Lesher!
I have a lovely Lesher in my closet. Myself and my last teacher found it to a better player than a Yamaha 211 (and probably the 411 since they share the same bore design). I'm afraid you'll probably never find an oboe that is quite as free blowing as your Lesher, but you'll certainly find a better scale and realize just how much more you were working on your intonation than you realized.
Finding a decent repair person to restore that Lesher to playing condition is gonna be FUN (not), so I'll suggest checking out this article on buying a new oboe: http://www.public.asu.edu/~schuring/Oboe/instruments.html
and avoid Ebay
On the D, E, F... assuming you meant the second octave. If you're using forked F, that is why you can't get a smooth slur. There is a little key between your second and third finger of your right hand which should be used for the primary F fingering. Now if that's the method you're using than there is probably something mechanically wrong with your oboe that needs to be fixed.
