What are they symptoms of low compression on all cylinders? My readings are cylinder 1 (89), cylinder 2 (90) and cylinder 3 (88). My motor begins to shake violently around 20 mph.

That is excessively low for your motor try another gauge and if the same readings pull the head.

I'll seek out another guage and if I get the same readings, pull the head and do what? I have a service manual, but haven't gone that deep into repairs before. Thanks for the help.

If the compression is the same pull the head and look at the cylinders or take a pic and post them.
