Just a thought regarding the model no. On the back or bottom of the unit there should be a label with the full model number(usually a combination of letters & figures) which will help
in locating service information, etc. Kockica 13, I'm a little puzzled by those belt diameters. As drive belts generally, are only ca. 1.2 or 1.5mm square, the inner and outer diameters should be almost the same. I would guess about 35 to 36mm for the smaller,
and 79 to 80mm for the larger one. Your method of measuring the diameters is usually what I do, though you can also loop a length of cord around where the belt runs, then
measure that. (P.S. your English is much better than my non-existent knowledge of Croatian!!)
