Hal. Thanks for the suggestion. I did get all the reels turning properly, after working some clock oil into the reels via the keyway in the shaft. The problem was, as I suspected, being the reels were stiff to turn, and the collective resistance caused the reels to jam when it trying to rotate the 1000 mile reel. Now all I have to do is put another 1000 miles on the old girl to see if my fix works.
