I didn't just overhaul a Sansui AU-717 to not use the headphone amp!
But it doesn't have a headphone amp! Like most amps with a headphone socket (not all) it merely sticks resistors after the main amplifier.... In your case 220R and it would be fine to do it after the headphone socket. Just wire a log pot of about 5K as a variable resistor with the log back to front so there is mono at fully anti clockwise, with a switch if you want to be able to switch it out, and connect this between the two channels using a 1/4" jack plug to 1/4" jack socket.
