Belt noise on my AR turntable


I am hearing belt noise from my AR TT.
The belt was replaced a few years ago and does not show, visually, any sign of wear.

When I add a slight pressure to the side rim of the platter, a load, the noise stops.....

Looking for suggestions to solve the problem.

It is often recommended to use talc on the AR belt. Not sure if this will cure your problem, never tried it myself. Clean belt first and place in a container of talc. Shake up and let excess fall off before reinstalling. Also, look at the sub platter and pulley for residue that may need to be cleaned off. ARXA- $69.00: absolutely the highest value turntable in the history of audio.
