[R-390] First Xtal osc low voltage

OK, I forgot that the first mixer osc only works below 8MHz, first thing 
I noticed when going through the testing, well, I put the MC to 7 and 
low and behold, the voltage whacks up to -20VDC at E209. Sounds a bit 
excessive to me but then there's the 'or more' caveat? I'm not finding 
an adjustment proceedure for that 1st mixer in any books I have but it 
adjusts fine with T207. I don't ever remember adjusting that 1st mixer 
osc. It probably never needed it. At least I'm glad I have enough, it 
seems in the past when I messed with these oscillators, there was never 
enough, but then I probably had the radio in AGC instead of STBY.
