Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 9702  Name: Control System Building Set
* 
9702-1 (Inv) Control System Building Set
213 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 4 Books, 2 Gear, 1993
Sets: Educational & Dacta: Technic: Control Lab

* Delete 2 Part x77 Black String, Cord (Undetermined Type)
* Add 1 Part x77ac75 Black String, Cord Thin 75cm

Comments from Submitter:
I measured the black string to be 75cm (from 2 new sets with no bin). However, I am only seeing 1 string in each set. I bought these 2nd hand and the 1x16 tech bricks were not polybagged, nor were the long electric cables. I suppose it's possible those parts were polybagged with a string, but since I am only seeing 1 string, I'm only requesting a delete/add for 1 string. I'll attach a pic of the polybag the string came in. Thanks!

I requested to delete 1, but looks like it automatically requested to delete
2?

Using the "delete" action will cause the whole inventory entry to be
deleted, i.e. both strings. Using the action "change" instead, you can
change the quantity from 2 to 1.

Did some more digging. Inventory card shows 1 string:

I also found the photo of another cardboard that only shows one string. So I
will accept this change.

It's strange that the old request never fixed the quantity of the strings.
Any chance that the second string was an extra?

Large parts are known to come without being polybagged in some sets, especially
in the 90's. So I think these were never packaged in this set.

Each of the 2 sets I bought only had 1 in the polybag. Seems unlikely they would
have been bagged separately.

I don't know what the practice is (or was at the time) but it seems reasonable
that there would be 1 cord per polybag so they could be grabbed and inserted
into the set more easily, whether by a human being or a robot. This would also
prevent their getting tangled in the bag. Imagine trying to pick up exactly two
cords from a bunch that aren't bagged.
