So, the oscillator seems to be working OK, just at the wrong frequency. You should be able to adjust trimmer 27 to move the oscillator frequency. Try tuning to a station then tweek the trimmer slightly to see if the station moves up or down the dial. With so many trimmers, you could be on the wrong one.
