For those who might have similar questions or needs -- I found the answers to my own question.
This website http://www.turntablebasics.com/ has these belts and you can usually find one that you need. Also you can check out: http://www.thevoiceofmusic.com/default.asp
The metal wheel with the rubber around it is called an idler wheel. You can have the idler wheel rebuilt for about $40 at the turntablebasics.com website or I just bought a brand new one, complete with rubber and brass bearing on the second website mentioned above for only $32.00 and I was able to buy the little drive belt as well.
Cheers,
Mike
