Sorry! I thought all you wanted to see was the wave form. I just moved it up on the scope so you could see it. Didn't even think to set the trace to the reference line. My mistake. I'll set the trace to the reference line and take another pic. Do you want it with signal in or without. If signal in, how much? Thanks!
 
On the oscilloscope page of the site (page 73), there is a 'best initial settings' section. Read through that section. USe the vertical amp and timebase settings you did previously.

Without signal, it's likely to be just a straight line. Take it as you did above.

Confirm that your scope's trace deflects to about -80v(or whatever it reads on a multimeter) and remains there when you touch the negative rail. If it does not, confirm that the negative speaker terminal is at 0v and ground your scope to the negative speaker terminal.

Post a photo showing the deflection of the negative rail (for reference).

"Confirm that your scope's trace deflects to about -80v(or whatever it reads on a multimeter) and remains there when you touch the negative rail. If it does not, confirm that the negative speaker terminal is at 0v and ground your scope to the negative speaker terminal."-The scope has been connected to the negative speaker for all tests. Rail voltage is + and - 87VDC. Tested both with the volt meter on the scope and with a Fluke 8024B. Adj. trace balance. Made sure I had equal deflection positive and negative. Both are deflecting to about +80 on the positive rail and -80 on the negative rail.

"Post a photo showing the deflection of the negative rail (for reference)." - Sorry about the glare in the photos.
