Dawn, you're right. You could just make one yourself if you have the
stuff. It's like a big O-ring seal.

FWIW, if its a rubber belt its possible that belt dressing may get it
working, at least for a while. Belt dressing is sold in auto parts stores.
I've used it on typewriter platens that had gotten glossy and slippery.
Worked fine and didn't seem to do any damage. Especially if replacement
belts are hard to find this may be an answer and is at least worth trying.
As someone who has never seen inside those machines, exactly what style
belt is it?
In the long-ago I had a project for Kodak that required a blower to handle
microfiche and cool a projection lamp. We needed a belt for the blower,
which, at the time, was in high production for gasoline filling stations,
being used to handle gas vapor in California. That eventually went out of
style when the "balance" system was used on the vapor return hoses from the
nozzles.
Anyhow, the pulley on the blower was a cheap V-shape and I used a V-shape
pulley on the motor. I decided to use a rubber rod "flexible rod*" and
after deciding on the proper length I had the rod cut very clean at a 30
degree angle and joined the ends with what we now call "super glue", then
it was Eastman 910 glue.
It was just something for lab/development but went right into
production. No need for a custom belt.

*Not sure what it would be called, it was a rubber tube with no center
hole, whatever that's called.
