Someone else may have a different opinion, but... I would start by cataloging the disks. There's usually a small hole near a reel stop tooth that marks the start.; List the payout position for each stop moving the disk clockwise: Ex: cherry, bell, plum, cherry, ... Sometimes the strips have shifted because the tin isn't crimped correctly or sometimes the disks have moved if not tight, so check to see if you have the right strip, just in the wrong position. (I find it strange that you'd have wholly incorrect strips). Next catalog the other disks--tougher but not impossible with the bundle intact. If still found to be incorrect, then you need a catalog from Bernie Berten's son Dave or from Rick Frink to determine if there's a set of stock strips to match the disks. Or post the results here and someone on the forum will tell you what you need. I wouldn't change the disks--that's a royal pain, especially if there's strips out there that match.
