Little Duke reel strip question...

The glue let go on the large (outside) reel strip on my Little Duke slot.
The circular paper strip is still in very good condition, and I just need to glue it back on. As most of you know, the Little Duke is an unusual animal because of the spinning discs as opposed to regular reels. I can't see any marks or notches on the back or edge of the metal disc to help me line the strip back up. Can anyone give me any hints on the easiest way to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

Cycle the mechanism while preventing the clock to wind down, align the two inner discs with the bar symbols in the jackpot position. Rotate the outer disc until the inner most holes align. That would be the jackpot position. In that position the jackpot sensing lever will travel through all three discs thus tripping the slides and jackpot. With the reels in position release the clock and the machine will time out and the jackpot should release. You might have to try this a few times to get everything in the proper position. Let me know if this helps. I am also wondering where all the experts are I thought you would have had some professional help by now.

TJ is wright that is the easiest way to line up the outer disc, there are several lemons, oranges and plums but only one bar and one bell symbol, but I find it easier to line up the bar symbols to install strips.
