Broke hatch on RCA cassette player RCD175C

Broke hatch off while pushing eject less gently in a dimly lit room. Pause button had been accidentally pushed and lack of sound was confusing. Alas I broke it.

Seems like this should be an easy DIY with a new hatch. Has this been tried before?

Update: On further troubleshooting I realized the tape player is fine and still works. I can manually put a tape in and it plays. It does not play all tapes this way though. Guess the hatch helps to line things up. Just to clarify the hatch is just the plastic piece the tape is slid into. Think I broke off a little plastic nub on it. They don't make it anymore as far as I could find out. (2011) I will take an image to illustrate.
