| Hello,
I wish to buy the string for set 6462 Aerial Recovery.
It is listed as:
x77a String, Cord Thin (Undetermined Length)
I see x77a listed with various lengths in the description. After someone tells
me length for set 6462 is it allowed to cut a longer string to that length.
OR does that mean I have ruined the string as a true Lego part?
How is it done to keep the set authentic? How to know proper string length?
Thanks,
Mark

There's confusion as to how many parts are in this actual set, which I believe
to be brickset's inventory not being complete:m
Brickset.com states on it's entry for this set: "According to the set
database, this set has 194 parts." but the official LEGO instructions contain
158 parts. The inventory from LEGO.com contains 158 parts. This suggests that
the inventory is 81.4% complete."
The entry on peeron.com states that the string is braided, 21L, and contains
end studs.

If anyone has a sealed 6462 please verify what is in it. The only sets for sale
on BrickLink are all used, some incomplete.
Apart from the string length, the BrickLink inventory looks pretty accurate.
Cheers ...

There are also some sets where the string is sold inclusive to a reel and hook.
So it could be listed like that.

Perusing the inventory shows no official association listed for it. The whole
point is to try and determine what the string length in the original set was,
if at all possible.
String for sets back then likely came in either a cardboard box containing the
string or it was wound onto a flat piece of cardboard with tabs and with the
string inserted into notches or taped down. I seem to recall a few LEGO sets
that had the latter variety whenever string was included in a set.
You wouldn't happen to have any 6462 sets awaiting parting out would you?
Cheers ...
