I'd try a sine wave, with vibrato (ie; an LFO modulating the pitch), and

a significant portamento time -- that, with maybe some manual pitch

bend, should hopefully get you close enough. Having the mod wheel set up

to modulate the amount of vibrato could be useful, too -- I *think* Calf

Monosynth from git will allow you to do all of that.
As for the sound itself, the plain sine wave may sound a bit weak, but

some very subtle distortion (from something like TAP Tubewarmth) should

help.
