Your best bet may be to measure the existing belts (inside
circumference, width or cross section, and wall thickness), subtract
around 5% from the circumference to compensate for stretching of the
old belt, and then purchase the closest-matching generic belt.

PRB seems to be the brand of choice for replacement belts. They carry
flat (ribbon-type), round, and square cross-section belts in quite a
variety of sizes.

http://www.russellind.com/client/download/belts.pdf seems to have a
pretty good overview of their offerings.

Lots of online sources - Vintage Electronics carries some, or see

His best best would be to stop living in the 1980s and stop using cassettes.

I recently converted some old cassettes to CD. To do this, I had to
rejuvenate an old tape deck. Maybe the OP is doing likewise?
