Looking for drive belt for old GAF

I'm looking for a drive belt for a GAF 1788Z dual 8 projector. This belt is
a Tilton 1/4 x 7 3/4 S5A. Any suggestions as to where to find this and other
parts? It seems to be fairly intact otherwise though there's some oxidation
on the aluminum drive wheels that will have to be cleaned/polished away.

Thanks!

Is it round or flat? If round, often an o-ring will work fine and is easy to
find.

O rings don't like continuous tension, try

| Flat.

You'd be better off with a specialist supplier then, although on rare
occasions a hydraulics supplier may have something close.

I got some hits on (FLAT RUBBER BELT PROJECTOR GAF). Does
