If you have the old motor suspended by rubber belts the screws at the plinth if loosened enough with right sized allan key(3 turns approx.) will allow you to reseat the motor.If of course the rubber suspension belts are not worn (replaced these once).I have had this issue myself and it is not cured until the Rega motor sits correctly,never had to return a belt.Don't worry about fiddling here it won't destroy anything just make sure the arm is locked down.The top of the pulley must be lowered to stop the problem you describe of the belt riding up.I got the tip from Vinyl Asylum initially and it has always worked for me,I believe it is the Rega "official method" for this issue.
Trouble with rega white belt seating properly
I just got the new white belt for my planar3 and that one along with my spare I never put on roll up and down and will not stay in place.My original belt is 10 years old and doesn't do this.I put in the subplatter upgrade a few years ago,I don't see that should be a problem,it wasn't with old belt.Does it need to breakin?Any ideas?
