Someone once stated that 90% of electrical problems are in connections,, whether they be plugs or soldered joins like you found it's all connections. The trick is finding them. :grr

-I don't notice a difference in sound coming from the speaker when I adjust the output waveform when following the directions in the manual.  Is this something I'm just going to need an scope to measure?
You can't follow the directions for this part without a scope, so you were not following the directions.  ;)

This reading is affected by the previous waveform adjustment.  Try moving the B4.7K pot either way and see if it helps you get the center voltage adjustment closer.

UPDATE: I had posted not accurate information about this amp, refer to post 12. This amp has a cap coupled output and without a load on the output it will float at 50v as the cap will not be able to charge up. I must have missed this bit on the schematics and did not realize. Hopefully this post will prevent any further confusion if referencing this thread while working on their amp.
