I have a 10S669 which uses the same chassis as the 10S690 and while someone added electrical tape to try to get more friction when the belt got brittle, the factory design used a flat leather belt that was driven by the knurled portion of the brass shaft.

I replaced the leather belt with a flat rubber belt that came as a kit which you cut to size and super glue together. It took a couple of tries to get the length optimized but it has been working for over 10 years without slipping.
