Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 4727 Name: Aragog in the Dark Forest
* 		4727-1 (Inv) Aragog in the Dark Forest
172 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2002
Sets: Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets

* Change 1 Part Black {4623 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Arm Up (Undetermined Arm Length Type) to 4623a Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Arm Up (Horizontal Arm Length 6mm)}

Comments from Submitter:
Checked in set from my personal collection that was bought new and not mixed with other parts.

I have [p=30389c,11] instead of
 
Part No: 30389b Name: Hinge Brick 2 x 2 Locking with 1 Finger Vertical and Axle Hole
* 		30389b Hinge Brick 2 x 2 Locking with 1 Finger Vertical and Axle Hole
Parts: Hinge {Black}
in my set.

Should the c type be an alternate part or can we remove the b type? These variants were not distinguished in the catalog until 2006 so it is difficult to determine a timeline or to say that both molds were used parallel over a longer period of time.

This situation is difficult because it does seem that both of these mold types
were used in parallel over a substantial amount of time. It is also hard to determine
which one came first, although I have a strong feeling it was 30389c. The reason
for that is due to Jon's finding here:

https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=272348

That set would have been one of the first to use the part with an axle hole included,
and it is the only set to use the part in white.

I would say that we go ahead and switch the one in this set to 30389c based on
the fact that this is also a 2002 set and your data is factual.

Cheers,
Randy
