Has anyone added a second belt to their VPI Scout

I am thinking about adding a second belt to my VPI scout turntable. Has anyone tried this? And if so, what were your results?

The motor spindle is tapered so if you're talking two belts and one motor I think that you'd have problems as the belt on the larger groove would be turning the platter faster than the one on the smaller groove and I would guess buckling or slipping would ensue. I could be completely wrong though.

I've seen multiple belts on other turntables and thought that it is a cheap enough tweek that somebody may have already done it. By the way on my Scout the pulley is not tapered.
