Anybody here know the correct belt sizes or part numbers for a Yamaha

I need both belts, one for tray mechanism and other for the laser
assembly. One belt melted the other disintegrated.

Worst case, I can measure and guestimate once getting an worthwhile belt
order in place (might as well do the tape deck and VCRs at the same time).
I've had surprisingly good luck replacing these with ordinary rubber bands!
I was amazed they actually work, but they seem to do fine. Digi-Key seems
to ship a lot of stuff in IC tubes with square cross-section reddish rubber
bands holding the plugs in the ends, that are quite similar in size to the
belts used in many of these decks.

Try against a soldering iron . You may find they are low grade silicone
rubber, will take a lot more temperature than latex rubber and different
smell. Not full grade high temp silicone , but dynamically and
degradation purposes much better than latex. Price of latex gone up and
silicone gone down recently. Its creeping into a lot of areas where
latex was previously used for bands
