Last weeks I ALMOSTY went through this. I was having a problem with my 25 where the motor could not start the glass platter on start-up without a nudge. The platter would just sit there unless I nudge it. I emailed Rega (very helpful) and they told me to check to see if the pulley is loose from the shaft like you describe. I did check it was not loose but they told me if it was to put a couple of drops of superglue as STEFANI describes above. This is how it is held together in the first place. The glue may come loose over time but hardly no one notices or checks.
Be sure to line up the pulley correctly (not too high or not too low) so that the belt wont slip off the subplatter when in rotation on either 45 or 33 settings. This was also described to me by Rega.
If in doubt email Rega directly, they dont bite. Very helpful buch of people.
BTW - for my situation the pulley was not loose at all, the platter spins exactly at 33 1/3 with stylus drag. So I just chaulk it up to a characteristic of my table. Unless anyone diagrees or has any opinons here, that would be great.
