Hi, and welcome!
Have you tried removing the cover and looking for the piece? It may be in there. You can then glue it back on, and reinforce the joint with epoxy.
The release mechanism is pretty simple, you may be able to figure out how it it supposed to work first, then devise an arm or something to release the door.
Kind of hard to say as we see no photos, and we are not familliar with that newer model.
As a last resort, you can just remove the casette door, then use the unit for what it was made for. There is probably a thin shaft, that acts as a hinge, and a spring to open the door.
Good luck whatever you decide to do.
