Rubber bands for tape on AIWA CA-30

Hi there, have just removed withered rubber bands from around cassette area of an otherwise good condition AIWA CA-30 boom box. Does anybody have or know where I can get other bands to replace these?

Depends where in the world you are

LOL Perhaps I should re-phrase the question (am in London by the way) - I need to buy a set (i.e 4) replacement rubber bands/belts to get the cassette rolling but have no idea of each band size, or even if it is possible to get generic bands that will fit this machine - so any advice about that would be appreciated? Am surfing ebay at the moment but not getting very far. Just thought some of you guys would know everything!

Well if you're UK then you're in the right place in eBay. I get all mine thro Malvern Audio on eBay...get a multi pack and then you can just try em for size...dead easy
