I found a Sony CFS-500 boombox at the thrift store awhile ago in excellent shape, but I am having trouble finding a suitable belt for this boombox. I cut the original belt and got a measurement of about 11.75 inches for the total length. According to the service manual, the part number is 3-564-304-00 BELT (S1), CAPSTAN. I tried searching that part number and came up with no results. I also couldn't find any 11.75 Capstan belts on eBay.

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement belt for this boombox?

Try 11" or slightly less -- just see what's available. The belt should have some stretch to it in order to have some grip. Otherwise if installed in a 100% relaxed position, it will slip all day long.
