Well you may not like this but ...
On some Zenith radios the drive to the tuning gang is by rubber belt and it is sold as a length. The ends are cut off at an angle and the belt put in place and super-glue applied to one face only before bringing the two halves together. Apparently if you use the correct glue (cant remember the details but a web search should find it) the join is a strong or stronger than the original belt.
So if turntable drive belts are cheap and easy to come by it maybe worth a go if major disassembly is the only alternative.
Don't forget the camera David and please do an article for the BVWS
