Belt for Technics turntables

Looking for information on where to purchase belts for the older Technics direct drive turntables from the 1980's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

They also make alot of the replacement turntable belts on the market today. I stumbled across the company 25 years ago while going to the University there. (Of course, "stumble" is the operative word as they are located a couple of blocks from the downtown bars!) Got a replacement belt for an Empire 698 there when no one else had one. Jim
