Okay was out of town this weekend and finally am getting back to this.

5 days in a row now after letting the amp sit over night it works great for 5 mins.

I swapped 18 and 19 as you suggested and I'm still getting the same behavior. I discovered why I was getting the negative voltage reading. I had the two probes reversed when I hooked them to the speaker leads to test. So swapping 18 and 19 had no impact on the voltage being positive or negative. Just changing the leads made it positive.

I think Q18 and Q19 are good. I've taken them out prior to the problem and test them with my DMM and they test fine. They I've taken them out once the DC voltage appears on the output jack and they test the same. I would love for them to be the problem as they are easy to take in and out but I'm thinking it's some other component that decides to stop working 5 mins into being powered on.
