Any Info

hello. I just acquired a 1969 Pfaff 79. It is great. However I'm looking for information on it like part numbers, belt type? Some one told me it is "Friction Drive" however I see a belt with metal staples on it when I open the top. ? What's the deal. Any info would be greatly appreciated todd
