As Scott says, O rings from any industrial or hydraulics supply. The real belts are polyurethane, and you may find poly O rings; if not get nitrile. Not as durable, but cheap. If you can take a sample from another machine to the store, they can match the size. I could measure one tomorrow and

I believe the belts on those projectors are just big O-rings. Grainger will probably have them in stock. Also, if they break, the show can be maintained by gluing them together with cyanoacrylate superglue. Usually if they are brittle enough to break in one place, though, they are soon to break

That's perhaps already been answered but OPUS 1 was restored by Filmmuseum Munich and they worked for years on it so it should be a serious result. If I remember correctly they based their efforts on both a few feet of coloured film in a forgotten tin and on a colouring chart. Stockholm and Mosc
