I use W. M. Berg. They may not be the cheapest, but they have an amazing
variety of belts and sprockets. They make a huge variety of steel-core
belts that I have used in all sorts of instruments and drives, as well as the
standard power transmission belts. See them at http://www.wmberg.com/
But, I kind of like their paper catalogs when I'm picking parts out and figuring
how long the belts need to be.
