Why would they design it that way, including an oven if it is so far off frequency? It is quite voltage sensitive also. Basically, with no input to lock to, it is all over the map, thousands of Hz off. Could it be broken, but working in a fashion so it is still usable? I've asked some of these questions here before but maybe there are different people looking at this now. I have some big pictures of the insides here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1crnGazOXbJL6aonn1xP7kCKBSuhNCmAm The two 30+ meg .pngs are composites of all the jpegs.
