[GTALUG] contact cleaner or something else?

Hi all, ..to safely extract something stuck in an RCA type port? I suspect it might be a broken cable point, some of the ones I got from long & McQuade actually snapped. Was fortunate the first time, another RCA cable pulled the first forward. Might a magnet draw it forward enough that I could use say a paper clip to remove it all together? Thanks for ideas, Kare
