Hey Roger,
There are multiple people online who supply parts for these projectors. Just look around. Personally I have never had to replace the rubber rollers on my Eiki or B&H machines so I can't help on that one. If you are looking for main drive belts, there are plenty of suppliers online that can help. My other solution and I have been laughed at but I am watching films while they are still looking is to find a sewing machine or copy (Business office) supply store. The belts they supply are really high quality and the same main drive mechs as your projectors. The belts you can find there are actually higher quality than the originals and about half the price of a replacement. My main Eiki projector has a belt meant for a Singer sewing machine. It has the thickest rubber I have seen with a steel belt in the middle and was only 10 bucks. I've been showing films on it for 3 years now with no problems at all.
