Bally 809 issue

Hi everyone.
Just picked up a Bally 809 slot and trying to learn my way through it.
Main problem i am trying to diagnose relates to the reels.
Reels won't spin when i pull the handle.
It appears the indexing levers are hung up in the notches of the discs.
If i remove the reel assembly, everything seems to move as it should...
Indexing levers pull back, kickoff levers move forward, clock does it's thing and
the indexing levers sequentially come back into position.
With the reels in, the indexing levers bind up in the notches of the reel discs.
What should i be looking for?
Thanks
Chris

It’s gummed up with the old grease underneath for the kickers are you’ll need to soak it with degreaser and clean it and then re-oil it that’s why it’s not kicking
