Thanks flatlander. That first picture doesn’t quite show all of the parts very well. There are actually 3 cheek blocks mounted to the mast. 1 on each side and the one you can see on the aft side of the mast. The hanging block that you mention actually has 2 blocks mounted back-to-back twisted at a 90 degree angle from each other. (not sure what the right name is for that type). I found the 2 short tails and figured that they were supposed to go up to the mast blocks like you said and down into the lance cleat, but that’s where I just started to make it up.

I’ll try to explain how I set it up… I’ll also try to get a picture uploaded after the weekend.

I have the long line threaded into the port pivoting exit block, up around the lower portion of the hanging block, back down to the port side cheek block, up around the upper portion of the hanging block, down through the aft cheek block, up around the upper portion of the hanging block on the starboard side, under the starboard cheek block, over the lower portion of the hanging block and down through the starboard pivoting exit block (hope you can follow all of that).

So I should I have all of the lines on the inside of the mast rotator? I had it setup with all of the lines on the outside, sort-of like the picture of the PO’s setup except with the long line going back and forth 4 times on each side.
