Does anyone know of reasonable and local replacements for super platter drive wheel belts?

They are common vacuum cleaner belts.

The best thing to replace them with is a Kirby vacuum belt part number 301291 - these are the belts with the criss-cross 'tread' on them. Remove the old belts and THOROUGHLY clean the plastic rollers of any rubber crud, oil, grease, etc. and then install the new rubber TREAD SIDE OUT on both rollers. These belts will last FAR longer than the other types of belts for this application. They will run a bit noisier (a pleasant whirrrrr) but operate much better.

I was having trouble with my unit throwing the belts off and i wraped the plastic wheel with double stick cleat tape and the problem came to a end!

I had better luck with the belts running with the tread in, and the smooth surfaces in contact with eachother. Tread out tended to abrade the new belts and I had a lot of rubber shavings falling onto the platters after a few shows.
