Did this part need to be assembled in original sets?
[p=2426]
This assembly is only in counterparts of set inventories, and (very annoying
to many) its high cost parts are in set inventories instead.

I've never seen this part separated and I would be very surprised if it didn't
originally come assembled.

Perhaps you could investigate the situation of how this part came in sets? Look
for sealed contents (photo or video) of some of the nine sets in which the assembly
appeared. I checked the instructions for one of the sets just now and it did
not show the part being assembled (meaning it probably came assembled for that
set).

Let us know what you find out. If you can verify that it came assembled in two
or three of the nine sets, then I think we could be confident it came assembled
in all of them and correct them all.

I remember getting
 
Set No: 6394  Name: Metro Park & Service Tower
* 
6394-1 (Inv) Metro Park & Service Tower
566 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 1988
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Gas Station
for Christmas in 1989. I can't remember this
part being not assembled and knowing my young me I would have disassembled it
somehow if i had seen it apart. So, I can give a 100% certain "It-was-probably-always-assembled"

PS: I was think it might have been part of the plastic tray for the Box lid and
I did a quick search. i was correct.

I know that when I bought

new, these rack winders were
assembled in the box. I've never seen them disassembled in the wild.

Probably because it's disassembleable like

I think it so likely that I've changed all instances of appearances in sets
from counterpart to regular item. Thank you mfav for the excellent images -
they've been added and credited to you.
