Just tape them off and connect your OT secondary to the headphones.

Move around for minimal hum and drill!

Oops, meant the PT. And the hot wires.

If they're ok with no load, heck, just treat em like the taps for unused voltage, tube recto, etc.

Wow, since I always drill holes before anything goes in the chassis, had never occured to me. What'd you do with other dangling OT wires, tape em up?
I did nothing with them. I just let them dangle.

Yeah, I cut off the bare ends and taped them. It worked well.
