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.

Yes, clean the belt, but remember you also need to clean the perimeter of the platter.  Isopropyl alcohol is fine, or ROR (residual oil remover) if you're so inclined. Also, wash your hands thoroughly before you begin the operation.
