[R-390] First Xtal osc low voltage

I'm finally getting around to checking the Xtal oscilators in the RF
section. The 390A doesn't exhibit any sensitivity issues. But the first
xtal osc is only giving me -0.9VDC on E209. Tried a 6AK5, V207, out of
another RF section as well as a 6C4, V202. Now I don't know about the
56K or 220K resistors, not sure I want to pull it apart to look. Larry's
article says not to worry near as I can tell if only one osc is low, but
this is pretty low from -5.5VDC. The others are E210=-4.2VDC and
E211=-3.5VDC. Any suggestions other than taking it apart? I've got some
tube extensions.
