Maybe pieces of some flat rubber drive belt as used on a player of some sort? The compliance of the rubber band is about right; maybe the drive belt would not have enough "give"? Maybe the whole thing is not a problem?

Actually I'm glad you brought up the idea, as it makes perfect sense.
The drive belt material is still susceptible of turning to snot over the years, but not nearly as quickly as a rubber band. I think the "give" would be sufficient.
