Re: Grundig TK 819 Any Useful Info
The belts in this machine have a round cross section, so suitably sized o-rings should work fine as belts.
As for the broken belt, as a temporary makeshift solution you can glue it back together with superglue. (This is actually the preferred method if you want to make a belt of o-ring string. The resiliency of the rubber stops the otherwise brittle cyanoacrylate bond from cracking.) Of course, in the state it's in it will tend to break somewhere else eventually but it might keep you going long enough to source new belts.
