Headphones on a Dyna ST70?

Howdy, fellow thorium addicts.

Given a bone-stock Dyna ST70.. how would I go about adding a headphone jack to it? I'd like it to disconnect the speakers, while of course still showing a load to the plates...

The one thing that makes me shudder is the thought of drilling a hole for the jack =o( Hm..maybe the tube guide hole in the front octal sockets?

I guess this could be done with somehow inserting 8 ohm dummy loads to the output chain when the 'phones are in the jack..hrm... but how to drop the power that was intended to drive speakers? 1 watt in headphones would prolly make my eardrums meet somewhere in the middle of my skull.

Anyway..any ideas? If the moth 2A3 amp can have a 'phones function, well, so can a ST70 ;o)
