A redneck solution is a normal rubber band. If too big slice a section out of it and super glue the ends together, if too long get another to extend it.

I have a Toshiba HiFi unit that uses a belt exactly the size of a dime store rubber band....The store bought rubber bands do rot in a few months, but it is so easy to swap it (two screws to open it's bottom access hatch) that I've never seen the need for a longer term fix...
