Parts for the older models

Eventually I'll be picking up a second turntable but won't be replacing my Well Tempered Classic, well, ever.
Is there a source for the round motors and belts? 
I wrote to Stanalog sometime back and never got a reply.
Is this something that the new company could help out with or perhaps offer up a cross reference just in case?

I've never heard of one of the old style motors going bad. Is yours ok? No rubber belts still available through WTL, but Firebaugh did design an upgrade pulley for the old 'tables that allows the use of a filament type belt like the current Amadeus. I'm waiting for my second batch here in the US. With the new pulley and a spool of the correct thread, you can make your own belts anytime and for next to nothing.

My motor's fine and I have a spare belt around somewhere (I think) but it's good to know about the pulley just in case.
This turntable is a keeper and I guess that I'm worrying about nothing.
