Anyone ever encounter MX7000 rotators scraping on the domes?

I'm finally starting to work on my project bar that arrived in the mail a couple weeks ago - 48" MX with 4 rotators (2 std/2 fast), Oscilaster, intersections, alleys, front flashers and 4 take downs. Domes are clear with rotator filters. Verified with a few members the rotator height matches the ones they had for a reference, trying to rule out incorrect rotators for the bar. Outer standard rotators seems to be hitting 75% of the time, inboard fast rotators are only catching once or twice a revolution. Tabs on the lower dome on the far outboard positions where the upper deck plate rests (dome tab fits in to holes in plate) appear busted off on both sides. Anyone ever run in to an issue with the rotators scraping? Oscilaser is fine, just the rotators are having a fit. Thanks!

Yep, all the time on the older metal ones anyway, but I don't have any experience with the newer plastic ones. If yours are metal, just very slightly bend the tab at the top of the reflector down a bit until you get clearance, but not much or you will throw off the "sweet spot" of the reflector.

Normal thing; just bend the offending areas down that are hitting & you should be fine.

just push down on the top of the dome above the rotator. There's enough give in the dome to push/bend the rotator down enough to keep it from rubbing.

Alright guys I'll give that a shot, I think they're pretty well bent down already but I'll try the pushing on the dome trick and see what I can get Thanks! Forgot to mention - newer chassis, older metal rotators.

My old MX have both new and old style rotators... (3 olds, 1 new)


Is it just me or the new ones give less of a POP than the old ones? :?:

To me, the plastic ones...standard speed...give more of a pop than the fast plastic & fast/standard metal ones.


Just my opinion though...

New one is fast... Should've specified....


Thanks!
