The OP could do some measurements too.
a) measure the DC across the input pins; that's the input offset voltage;
b) measure the DC across the 47k R, which gives the input offset current.
Combined give the output offset voltage, as the input offset voltage X gain, plus the offset as a result of the input offset current. They may be with same polarity (which I expect for 200mV output offset) or opposite polarity and cancel partly.
Karl you could check the same on your breadboard.

OK, so same set up as before... can't guarantee they were all the same devices as before though.
From the start then. First readings with 910 ohm not connected, second set with. Vin in voltage between non inv and inv inputs. Meter neg on non inverting. VR is voltage across 47k, meter neg at inv input:

I think we can conclude that the offset is caused mainly from the amplified input offset voltage, except maybe for the LM833. That is an odd one. I must check its datasheet.
Back to the OP, he stated his 200mV output offset doesn't change with different opamps. Did he measure the DC at the opamp input pins?
