I still use good old CPC for most of my cassette deck restorations. I was pleased to see that most of the belts they sold back in the 1990s when I last stocked up, ARE still available, they're just harder to find now that the huge paper catalogues are no longer issued.

For info, the flat ones are stock codes AVBELT1 to AVBELT55, the square ones AVBELT56 to AVBELT134.

I am also pleased to report that all of my 1990s stock of belts from CPC still seem to be elastic and supple, none having gone slack or gooey.
