  Bob,

   I just send you a message about this but here's an additional comment.

  I took some old belts out of a HP-85 and took them to an industrial
belting company (Florida Belting) and they matched them up with current
production belts. Their belts are orange and I think they're made of Kevlar
so they shouldn't have the melting problem.
