Broken off pin in an RCA female plug - how to remove

[JLNorthGA]

They would like to use a Yamaha Clavinova for the upcoming musical. It needs to be plugged into the house system to be amplified. Unfortunately someone broke off a pin in one of the RCA out plugs. Not a good thing. Needs to be fixed if I'm to hook the Clavinova into the house system. Any suggestions?

I can always replace the female plug - I'll check it to see if it is easy to get to it.

Worst case scenario, Mic the speakers.

I'd get a disposable dowel or skinny object that can fit inside the pin, add a drop of superglue, and pull it out once it's set.

Screw a small screw in to the inside of the pin, then pull it out.

Check the back of the female connector; on many, the male pin protrudes through so it can just be pushed back out. I just checked the output board for a Clavinova; you will need to use a needle probe or similar to push it out since the back of the female RCA is almost (but not totally) blocked by the metal from the contact.
