The output stages run at full voltage from the power supply when the set is run on the mains. This will give an incorrect setting of the quiescent current. A decent set of batteries is usually very close to 9V, although I usually use a lab supply when setting up the output stage.

Last time I did this job, I made a mental note to solder two pieces of wire to the measuring point bridged by a solder link. By bringing these above the of board, the quiescent current can be checked without extracting the board.
