To answer my own question, this site claims to sell one. No idea if true at this stage but maybe useful to someone.replacement for Yamaha part number CB 65 04 00

Yeah that's what I plan to do now. Seem to be 6.6 inches in diameter.I would look for a generic drive belt (or square section gasket-ring) with necessary dimensions.
Cannot comment, I am in the metric world 😉Seem to be 6.6 inches in diameter.
Is there an easy way to disconnect the belt and see if it is causing the vibration? I know, too many times, manufacturers build an entire machine around the belt. With a problem such as this, you can put your finger on say the transformer or motor and observe whether or not the hum changes or disappears. Even using the eraser end of a pencil will do this. At least that way, there would be an indication as to where the noise was being produced

That's an interesting thought about the belt. I'll have to disassemble it further to check that.Is there an easy way to disconnect the belt and see if it is causing the vibration?

Pressing on the transformer, motor, or case does not seem to alter the sound of the hum by much, so yeah, not sure what is causing it all really.
