Today I had a good go at "re-treading" the worn pulley. It took a few attempts to find a suitable tread. Finally got some special rubber from a local factory as well as strange looks for going to so much trouble over an old car cassette player.
Method was to use superglue and somehow squeeze the rubber into the groove and let it set (with my fingers stuck too).
Here is the result. Not perfect but hopefully more tread now but won't know how well it works till I refit.
