The technician suggested the two pulleys might have been reversed at some stage and this might be causing the slow rotation of the paddle wheel...is that possible?

I don't see why anyone would even consider that. I'm beginning to wonder how many other people have been charged for unrepaired pins by a tech. I have heard of people that say the machine is too expensive to repair and then to offer a low price to buy it.
I'm not cranky, I just want MORE pins!

I don't think the motor is getting enough power...I compared it to someone elses and they get 29v and I'm getting 19v.

Check the voltage input on the motor terminals.

Who's the tech? Pretty basic and standard procedure to test the voltage going to the motor... its meant to be 30V and you get 19V?.. Surprised its turning at all.

Time to pull out the manual and check the source of the voltages. If the manual was not provided, check eBay - it was most likely removed and then listed separately  #@#

I'll keep that to myself for now. If he rebuilt the power board might it be the relay under the playfield or should I be looking elsewhere?

I have a manual that I can send you via email but it is 9MB
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.
