If you can't find a proper replacement, you might be able to try what
I did for an amiga floppy drive. I found that a beige rubber band
could stretch to the right size providing some, but not too much
tension. The problem was that the rubber band was 1/4" wide. I was
able to cut it right down the center with an ordinary pair of scissors
so that I had two 1/8" wide belts. It worked great.
Since these rubber bands are available in all shapes and sizes, it's
probably not difficult to find one that's the right diameter, then cut
it down to the right width.
