Default Dynatron Amplifier

I have just purchased a Dynatron SRX 60 stereo system that requires not much, but a little TLC so I am hoping that someone may be able to steer me in the right direction.
The turntable drive belt is completely perished. I have managed to fit an elastic band to get what is a wonderful sound out of the turntable. Where would be the best place to source a new belt. The player is now just a tad slow, but of course this could be caused by my makeshift repair.
On another note, there are 5 x preset adjustable pots behind a face plate. If someone could give me a guide on these, one possibly for the turntabe speed, I would be most greatful.
Regards Bob

Most likely pre-sets for the radio push button tuning.

Your makeshift belt repair is probably applying excess tension on the motor pulley.

You need to measure the original belt dimensions and find something that matches. Google is your friend.

A picture of the record deck would help people advise you.

As Paul says a picture of the deck would help together with its make and model number if possible as it won't have been made by Dynatron as such. However I think the SRX 60 was usually fitted with a Philips 22GC037 type turntable. Is the perished belt sqare in section? If so this might be the right belt:

Thinking about it the SRX 60 was introduced in the late seventies at a time when Philips still owned Dynatron so it's very likely to be a Philips turntable of some description.

Googling the SRX60 shows a Philips derived turntable.
