Fix a van Der Graaf with melted belt?

[sunray18]

The belt of my VDG has melted all over the light bulb and the electrical circuitry. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it ..

{and yes, i know, I already want to find the culprit and do unspeakable things to them....}

Just use Acetone to clean off rubber from parts and order new belt
No Drama's

Thanks Ocker - now what do I do to the teacher who did it? when I find him/her?

If a Him, you could fix it so he sings saprano in future.
You are well fixed for rusty scalpel blades I take it
