I would definitely go for the SWAP solution.
Depending where you are located you may find somebody who is able and
willingly to do that job for you if you are scared to do it yourself.
I am located in Europe/Netherlands and can offer you to do that job for
free, if you pay for shipping forth and back.
The older Newt chrger you mention is most probably the one used for MP120 or
MP130.
You can use it for the MP2x00 as well, but the charging will take much
longer.
