If you don't have a tach or suspect it's accuracy all you need is a flourescent reading lamp and some different coloured tape. To find 1800 rpm use two pieces, 1200 three pieces or 900 rpm four pieces of tape stuck across the face of the pulley spaced equaly apart. Shine the flourescent lamp close to the rotating pulley in dim light. When the each colour sits "stationary" in it's own spot there's your RPM. Safety 1st when tinkering around moving parts. Found our 70D tach reading 300RPM less than actual.

Thanks, that's a GREAT idea. I saw it posted earlier when I originally asked the question but it makes sense! Maybe now I'll have to buy one of those cool flourescent drop lights...

Missed mentioning a old fashioned iron/copper ballast light is required. Some new light weight lamps have an electronic ballast that strobes the lamp 1000's of times a second instead of 120 times on 60Hz.
