maybe a pair of small needle nose pliers or even a pair of tweezers to try to pull it out?

has this happened to anyone? Would I need to just cut the wire and splice another RCA feamle end to it? LMK

Put a small dab of silcone on a small tipped screwdriver and stick it to the piece that broke off. Let it cure, then pull it out.

silicone won't be strong enough probably. Maybe try that with a strong adhesive and you might have a chance.

Just thought it would be easy to clean up the silicone, if you got some on the input. Glue would work better, just have to be careful.

anybody?

Has anyone spliced a new on there? Can I jsut connect the inner wires together and then the outer wires?

Do they make it to where the silver female end can come out and be replaced?

I need some more suggestions...

This....

Or, drill a small hole in it, but don't let it go all the way in. Once you're in the RCA head, pull the drill out and the tip should come with it. Mind you, a SMALL bit.

Or, get a bunch of car batteries, get a lot wire, wrap it around a really long screw, connect each end of the wire to positive and negative, and then you have a giant electro-magnetic device.
