Default Battery door for Coolpix 950?



My trusty, bulletproof, faithful Coolpix 950, which I've been using
without any problems for five years, must've gotten wind of the fact
that Santa is bringing me a new camera, and so, in a fit of
self-destructive jealously, has managed just today to break its own
battery door. It's one of the little tabs on the door -- no damage to
the body itself -- but the upshot is that I have to press and hold the
door closed to get the camera to work.

It seems like it should be easy enough to replace the battery door. The
question is where to get a replacement? Does anyone have an old 950
laying around that could be scavenged for parts? Barring that, does
anyone know of a good (viz. inexpensive) source for a replacement door?
I don't want to chuck the 950, and I suppose I could use electrical tape
or suchlike to hold the door closed, but that's so tacky... I'm afraid
sending it to a Nikon dealer for service would cost more than a new
Coolpix of similar or better features.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Scott
