I was wondering, where is the best location for the motor (distance, orientation angle, etc.) in a table such as a Nottingham Space Deck, Teres, etc. where the motor is disconnected from the platter? I'm assuming so both lengths of the belt are equidistant and other than that, I have no idea.

Also, how much tension should be on the belt? I suppose the answer is as little as needed....
