Classic 3 VPI

My Classic 3"s belt squeals upon turn on.  After a couple of seconds, the squealing stops.  I've tightened the pulley, installed a new belt and did what VPI recommended, I powdered the belt.  After applying powder, the squeal quietened but squealed again on the very next try.  I reapplied powder and the same thing happened.  Any advice is welcomed.

My Rega RP 3 just started doing the same thing. My white belt has around 120 hours of play time how long will a belt last? Also can I use two belts on the RP 3?

If you are planning on using more than 1 belt on your Classic turntable, make sure that you have the correct non-stepped pulley often referred to as a HRX pulley.
