turntable part

A friend gave me his Philips turntable, circa late '70s I'm guessing, with a snazzy Grado cartidge (knowing this friend, probably a damn fine turntable in its day). The unit needs a new drive belt. I sent a note to Philips and one other turntable site I could find, but no helpful responses as of yet.
Anyone know of a shop that would most likely carry this (or a useable) belt? The belt was actually round in cross section, different than the flat belts I remember from days long ago. I also have an old Technics linear tracking turntable that needs a cartridge. I want to get at least one of them up and running because I want to tape some kid's albums - they were mine from long long ago and I want to allow my kids to hear them.
Thanks for any help or links or suggestions.
I'm not sure my cassette deck will know what to do when it gets a signal from an album after all these years.

Burdette-
Try a google or yahoo search, you may find a trail that leads to the part.
I have found fuel cannisters for extinct camp stoves that way.

AH HA!!!! Thanks for all the responses! I'm a good surfer, but hadn't run across these sites. Found the belt already for $10.
Glad I asked.
Once the turntable is fixed.. he's giving me his entire vinyl collection, going back to the '60s.
whoo hoo. -
You probably want to box up that vinyl and send it to my address. Nobody wants that old stuff anymore. Paul
