Hipshot detuner question

[pondscum29]

Hey there. I have a quick question regarding my Hipshot detuner. Are the plates supposed to be parallel and essentially close to touching? I never noticed it before, but there is a gap between the plates: .075" gap at the widest, only about .015" at its narrowest. So they're not parallel. Is this normal, and I'm concerned over nothing, or should I pursue servicing it?

See images and thanks in advance.

you mean between the plate that moves and the plate that doesn't?

it's fine.

Yep, those two plates. Just wasn't sure if they were supposed to be parallel with a smaller gap.

Thanks! Thought I was seeing something that wasn't there before.

looks normal to me. I've seen them vary from time to time..
