[R-390] A bit more on my IF deck

I got the resistors replaced and all seems fine. I need to do a full IF
alignment, but it seems to be behaving just a slight bit better. I'm not
sure, but I think it doesn't take quite as long for the system to dump the
charge from SLOW AGC as it did. Is that perhaps a function of that 2.7M
resistor?
I wanted to check the resistances and voltages around where I had worked.
Everything looks pretty good except for pin 2 of V506. According to the
manual, I should have about -0.4V, but I'm getting nothing (HP410B used
here). Checking the resistance, the manual states I should be seeing 500K
in AGC mode and I'm only seeing 400K here. There are three resistors to GND
from V506, pin 2 and they add up to 500K. Apparently I have something else
parallel to this that's pulling the resistance down a bit. It's always
something. Any guesses why I don't see -0.4V here?
Thanks,
