Hi Bill, The belts are essentially "O" rings, and I would look for
auto parts, farm supply, or hardware stores that have a large selection
of O rings. As I remenber, you have to take the front panel off to get
the shaft loose to slip on new belts :-(
One other suggestion, Small Parts Inc. has a product called polycord
belting, where you make your own belt. The smallest diameter they have
is 1/8", may be too big. If you could use this stuff, you would not
have disassemble anything. Small Parts also has "O" rings.

Just disconnect the shaft at the capacitor, pull the shaft back and slip
the belts over the pullies.
