However, some of these jacks are open units in which case you should be able to bend it back quite easily, just don't touch other stuff in the amp and don't apply excessive pressure if it's board mounted (a jack is easier to change than a cracked board)

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youYou will need to open the amp up anyway - it there is the tip of a plug in there you'll need to lift the contacts with a small screwdriver and let it fall out. If the contacts are badly bent you'll need to replace the socket, which is probably a job for a tech since it will be soldered to the PCB, and getting at the pins may be even more difficult - quite often the whole PCB has to come out.
If it is the tip of a plug, you *may* be able to superglue something like a toothpick into the hole in the middle and pull it out, but it's fairly unlikely I think.

Anyone recommend someone near Huddersfield?
Thanks all for the advice. I'm going this doesn't make it a write off, or the child in question is getting a bill. They were being a dick at the time

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youI used to not approve of this sort of 'bodge', but experience over the years - especially with school and rehearsal-room amps - has proved that it's actually the more sensible way of doing it in many cases.
But *first*, before you do anything else, check that there isn't the broken tip of a plug in there. It looks like there might be, and the distance the plug now goes in is perfectly consistent with that. If so, you don't need to replace the jack at all.

As for the plug, the one that got tripped over snapped at the base of the plug but came out whole. I don't know how anything else could have got in there though. I'll have a closer look of I can get the back off without blowing myself up.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youYou won't blow yourself up if you leave the amp turned off for a sensible amount of time before you open it - I assume it hasn't actually been turned on since it happened anyway - and make sure it isn't plugged in. With no standby switch, it's difficult for the caps to retain much charge when the amp is turned off.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youFixed it myself, with judicious use of a cocktail stick and an olive fork (being middle class has advantages you'd never realise until this happens!)
Thanks for your help folks, all tested and working fine.
