Lubrication is almost always a good idea. The only things to watch out for are 
that you keep the oil away from the heads and any drive belts, and be careful 
when lubing plastic parts, because some plastics don't like oil and can swell 
up a bit and jam in place.

Belts DO get old and stretched. The place that used to sell these was called 
PRB, or Projector-Recorder Belt, but they've been bought out, or something. You 
might find them via Google. Belts are not as easy to buy as they once were.
