I have been chasing a new set of BK2000 sling shot plastics for about 18 months now. I have tried everywhere but seems no one is making them at the moment. Last week whilst doing my regular goggle search for them I finally hit the jackpot and found a pair of "NOS" plastics in the States. I promptly paid including express post and have been waiting by the letter box since. Well today they arrived and I'm not sure what to think. I'm happy that I finally have a set on unbroken plastics but not too sure about the match. What do you think?

Hmmm had similar T2 complete plastics set once

There is actually 2 different versions of the BK2000 plastics, incl slingshot plastics.
The original prototype plastics went on the first run of the BK2000 games, and then about a quarter of the way along, they changed plastics to a more lighter/modern colour theme/style. Some plastics stayed the same, and about a third of them changed completely/alot.
What u have got is fine, its not wrong, just a set of each by the looks of it. If i saw the rest of your machine, I would know which full set u had, but either way, or either set is fine. ^^^

you can buy a full set from CPR
-
always a good feeling when you find something that you have been hunting for a while
make sure you scan them just as a backup just in case

I doubt they are NOS, as when BK2K was made, you bought plastics as a complete set. Slings weren't available separately, and you didn't get 2 sets in a plastic set.
Having said that, I guess there *is* a chance someone bought a NOS set, and used everything but the slings.. a small chance. Would you believe nearly zero chance? :)
A guy named Alan Meyer made repro slings for BK2K and plenty of other games for awhile. His plastics were second to none, the quality was amazing.
As mentioned, there were 2 different sets of BK2K plastics used, depending on where in the run your game was, and I would guess the originals are probably faded, which is why the reds are lighter on the originals than the new ones.
Change them both, and they will look fine :)

Funny you should say this as the advertisment did state that they were "NOS" left over from a full that they didn't use the slingshots from so this could be right.

I'm thinking-
NOS Not Original Stock....... in this case
at the end of the day your a head with new unbroken slings
