Panasonic top-loader VCR Issues

[vortalexfan]

OK so its definitely the idler tires that are bad (they are cracked and have no grip left to them even after a cleaning)

I need to figure out what size of Idler Tires i need for these VCRs because all of the sites I've looked at (SMC Electronics, Russel Industries, etc.) list the parts by diameter (I. D. and O. D.) and Thickness but not by model number that they could be used on.

And Unfortunately I don't have access to the Service Manuals for these VCRs.

Any ideas as to what I need?

A digital caliper would come in handy.
