I dug out an old Hitachi turntable but the belt had turned into
liquorice ??? I tried a couple of different elastic bands but all I
could find was either too tight (short) or narrow (this deck needs
summat about 24" (61cm) long (circumference), 3/16" (5mm) wide and
about .5mm thick)?

If you can find a belt that is bigger than you need, then it can be cut to
size and super-glued. We used to do that years ago in a workshop, and it
worked a treat.
