Default Belts for Clausing 5914 Lathe?

The variable-speed belt on the Clausing 5914 lathe (made in 1972) looks
a bit worn, has already lost a number of cogs, and the other cogs are
cracked, so belt replacement is in order. The timing belt looks OK, but
I may replace both, as it's such a chore, requiring partial disassembly
of the powertrain.

My questions are what belts (by make and model) are correct, where can
one buy them, and what should they cost? (I imagine one can get them
from Clausing, but at a substantial markup.)

Thanks,

Joe Gwinn
