Are you sure the collector load resistor is 56K, could it be 5K6, because 56K seems very big for a collector load on a 9V circuit. 5K6 would also mean the driving impedance to that feedback circuit would be smaller than the input impedance of it.

I have certainly seen resistors where the colour bands are ambiguous as to whether they are red or orange, and had to take a meter to them to check
