In replacing the belt, I note it is a very tight fit, and IMHO puts too much lateral force on the load motor shaft. While waiting for the replacement, I experimented with a common oring slightly larger than the factory belt, and it worked. If I were keeping this, I might have experimented with slightly larger silicone orings to extend the life of the load motor.

While not a SV-970, I have a brand-new, never used SV-F990 for sale for $3,500 price or reasonable best offer.
