Hello,

I was thrilled when my parts for 911-1 showed up to once again build my first
LEGO set. However, the turn table listed in the part list for this set on Brickling
is incorrect.

Current part: Item No: 3403c01 - Turntable 4 x 4 Square Base with Same Color
Turntable 4 x 4 Top (3403 / 3404)

Correct part: Item No: 3404ac01 - Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted

See attached instructions for correct part verification.

Thanks,
Michael

BrickLink inventories contain what actually came in the set and not what appears
in the instruction manuals. Since instruction manuals are created ahead of production
time for sets, newer molds or parts are usually included in the actual sets that
were not accounted for in the instructions.

Having said that, I am not sure what actually came in this set. But the person
who would probably know is Admin_Russell (a.k.a. viejos), who updated the inventory
in 2009 to include
 
Part No: 3403c01  Name: Turntable 4 x 4 Square Base with (Same Color) Top (3403 / 3404)
* 
3403c01 (Inv) Turntable 4 x 4 Square Base with (Same Color) Top (3403 / 3404)
Parts: Turntable {Black}
instead of
 
Part No: 3404ac01  Name: Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted
* 
3404ac01 Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted
Parts: Turntable {Black}

The parts are the same size, so the construction should not be affected.

It is probable that they came with either one of them as it was in the crossover
time. I did find online a picture of an open set that has the original turntable
without the 4x4 base. And the photos on the box show the older turntable,

This set
 
Set No: 911  Name: Universal Building Set
* 
911-1 (Inv) Universal Building Set
369 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1976
Sets: Universal Building Set: Basic Set
was released in 1976. This is the first year of production of
 
Part No: 3403c01  Name: Turntable 4 x 4 Square Base with (Same Color) Top (3403 / 3404)
* 
3403c01 (Inv) Turntable 4 x 4 Square Base with (Same Color) Top (3403 / 3404)
Parts: Turntable

I know this because I have checked multiple used copies of train
 
Set No: 183  Name: Complete Train Set with Motor and Signal
* 
183-1 (Inv) Complete Train Set with Motor and Signal
183 Parts, 1976
Sets: Train: 4.5V
and checked the production date of their motors.

Some early releases came with
 
Part No: 3404ac01  Name: Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted
* 
3404ac01 Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted
Parts: Turntable {Black}

while the later productions came with
 
Part No: 3404ac01  Name: Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted
* 
3404ac01 Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted
Parts: Turntable {Black}

It is however ppossible that some very early releases of
 
Set No: 911  Name: Universal Building Set
* 
911-1 (Inv) Universal Building Set
369 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1976
Sets: Universal Building Set: Basic Set
came with left-over
 
Part No: 3404ac01  Name: Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted
* 
3404ac01 Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted
Parts: Turntable {Black}

P.S. My inventory change requests for 183-1 are still under consideration since
