Hello,
I recently broke off the metal tip of an RCA cable end inside a pretty fancy stereo speaker. It's pretty deep in; nothing protruding at all. It's a solid metal pin, not hollow. How do I get it out?

If it is a pretty good speaker, the jack may be held to the enclosure by screws. If so, you should be able to unscrew it and push the broken pin out from the rear.

if you can't open the enclosure, just push the pin completely through the jack and let it fall into the enclosure. if you REALLY gotta remove it, perhaps you can solder a solid 14 gauge wire onto it and pull it out.
