Hmm, it would make sense, the belts probably decayed. The cassette deck is part of a hi-fi tower that I am nursing back to health after it's been in storage for 11 years.

Any recommendations on where I can buy new belts? Are cassette builts built according to a standard?

AFAIK, no more or no less than turntables.

Belts are so... analog.😉 It's been awhile since I've purchased any. There is/was a company named PRB (?) that specialized in them. But these days, I'm confident a web search will turn up sellers.
The biggest problem is determining what you need without specs for the old one. If you can't find specs online, you'll need to open up the deck and remove the old one. Then you'll need to measure it for diameter, width, flat or round or square, etc. Then find an equivalent in the catalog.
