Please help Problem with Rega P3 belt "rolling".


So this past week I treated myself to a brand new Dynavector 10x5 cartridge and a new belt. Now the belt "rolls" and every few rotations snaps back into place causing an audible pop. It isn't slipping but rolling. It actually moves up the rotating spindle slowly then all of a sudden jumps lower causing the pop. The shop where I got this from has never heard of this and I even went to another shop with the belt to see if I could recreate the act there to no avail. This rules out the belt so I'm at a loss. Anyone? I was going to have a few friends over tomorrow for a listening session but this changes eveything.

can you post a picture of how the belt is seated on motor pulley and subplatter?

for 33.3 it should be in the top groove of the motor pulley.
is the motor pulley shaft bent or dirty? you can clean the pulley with isopropyl alcohol.
