Test the trimmer to see if it's functioning properly over it's intended range, and look for shorted caps in the OSC 2 circuit.
Since OSC1 is basically the same as OSC2 you can test various points in the working circuit and compare them with the non-working.

My prodigy had two issues - one was a shorted cap (C7) and the other , which prevented any sort of calibration, was a solder bridge which caused a short. It took about 8 hours to find those....
