Vent: The week I had to fix three different VCRs from 1998

All of them had the same snapped rubber belt, which I finally sourced from a guy in Cleveland for $12. Anyone know a good modern substitute for those specific belts?

Man, that's some serious dedication lol. Honestly, I just use the o-rings from the plumbing section at the hardware store. They're like a buck for a pack and you can usually find one that fits close enough. Not perfect, but it gets the job done when you can't find the real part.

My buddy tried that and his whole sink flooded the next day.
