My lathe is dying....

After many years of use, the drive belt on my lathe is about to bite the dust. I have known it was wearing out for the last couple of months, but I was doing some machining over Christmas and it started an exponential decline toward death, unfortunately, everyone was closed so I couldn't do anything about it...so I nursed it through and finished the job, "I will fix it later". I am amazed that it has continued to hold on with what it has got anyway, what do you reckon? Do you think I might get a couple of more years out of it?

I know the lathe is a bit messy....but I wasn't expecting visitors!
