Try www.1200s.com - an authorized Panasonic/Technics service center. There's a section just for drive belts, although I believe Panasonic has discontinued most of their belts, and seem to have created a one belt fits all part. Not sure, but they are a good start to ask.

i got a good replacement belt from "stereorama". i am pretty sure they got one for you. give them your model and they will tell the right one. they have store online at ebay store. email him at: stereorama@hotmail.com and tell him your questions anything regarding turntable maintenance.
you have choices: browse "turntable accessories" and you will find out lots of online stores that carries turntable parts and accessories (cartridges, stylus, record cleaner, all kinds of drive belts, etc.).
i got also some t.t. stuff from "turntablebasics"...ebay also.
good luck, dan









good luck, dan

I should think any Panasonic dealer should be able to order it for you. Probably cost about £8 with postage. Panasonic tend to use the same belt through a range of many models.

Independent dealers, rather than large superstores are you best source for such items.
