I'd love to see someone make a complete plastic set for this including
the futuristic plastics and the topper. How many pre-orders would it
take to make this possible?

Guys,

I know this may seem like highway robbery but here is what I've got.

A couple of months back I was in the same boat as both of you guys.
Looking for an undamaged set of BK2K slings for my pin...both of mine
were chipped on both ends.

Within that time someone parted out a BK2K on Ebay and put each of
their undamaged slings on seperate Ebay auctions. I WANTED THEM
badly.....what BK2K with an NOS lower field is going to look good with
busted slings? I over paid and won both auctions. I paid a combined
$150 for both sling auctions.

Since then I've tracked down a NOS set that is now on my minty
machine.

If either of y'all would be interested I'll set the used set to
whomever for what I have into them. Yes, I know it's high, I 'm not
trying to make a profit off of you guys...just trying to get back my
investment into them. If you want them.... I've got them $150 shipped.

Let me know,
Craig Hassell

I would buy one of each if both sets are made. I think i like the
futuristic plastic set better.

I know 2 other people with BK2Ks that would probably buy a set.

so that's 3 right there.

Assuming Wayne or Gene would license it, and assuming an NOS set is
available to work from, the break-even point is around 40-50 sets sold.
That's a bit of a wild-ass-guess, since it depends on the actual cost
to make them, what kind of cut Wayne or Gene would want of the profits,
and what they'd sell for, but it's probably pretty close. Are there 50
people out there that want this set?

Heck yeah.. I've been scouring for a set now for months with no success.
I just need the right one, FYI. It seems like about every 2-3 weeks
there's a thread that crops up that says:

LOOKING FOR BK2K SLINGSHOTS

I'm thinking that 40-50 ought to be no sweat.

I e-mailed Ray at Action Pinball with regards to his "COMING SOON" tag
on the Black Knight 2000 specific parts. He said that he'll put me on
the list IF/when they get reproed again. I wasn't left with a warm
fuzzy that they were coming again anytime soon.

So.. PLEASE remake these! Or.. sell me your spare right slingshot!

-Mark.

But, would you, and 50 or so other collectors, part with $125 or so for
a repro set? Even if you only need that _one_ plastic for your game?

So far, I've watched lots of threads with people wanting repro this or
repro that. Somebody's always looking for one plastic, or a single side
sticker, but never wants to buy the whole set that's available. That makes
it hard to support any repro efforts.

I don't want to throw too much cold water on the idea, but I just checked
and I don't have email from 50 people wanting repro BK2K plastics sets. I'm
not committing to do them, but I know who to contact and how to get them
done. If there's sufficient demand, as in real, confirmed, money-on-the-table
orders to support the run and make it financially possible, I can look in
to getting the license from Gene or Wayne and getting them produced. But
one or two guys wanting them is no where near going to get these made.

Doesn't it make more sense to produce a so-called "easy Break " set
rather than a full set, especially on older games?? It would seem to
me that after nearly 15 years it would be pretty easy to figure which
plastics break and need to be produced.

If your plastics have faded on the old set the easy breaks stand out
too much. At least with a new complete set you should have even color
tones.

I have a complete NOS BK2000 palstic set if anyone wants it for 200
shipped in the US. I think it is the futuristic one. It is complete
and has never been on a game. Also have a repro upper ramp if anyone
needs one......never used and a decent copy....70 shipped in the US.
I sold my game earlier this year.

Most of the plastics get pretty yellowed and you'd easily spot the new
ones. If i need a few plastics i always try and buy a NOS set and sell
of the pieces to whomever needs them. Then again i tend to go overboard
with things

Well, if it's for an entire set - $125 seems like a fairly reasonable
price. I do tend to try to return things to perfect when reasonably
possible.

I'd make the argument that 99% of the queries are for one of two things:
Either the slingshots or the plastic behind the left bank of drop
targets. The drop target plastics are currently available and in stock
- unfortunately they are not the futuristic one.

I seriously think all that needs to be offered is the slingshots -
that's what everybody is looking for. If they were slightly off-colored
due to fading of the rest of the game, I really doubt anybody is going
to notice that since they aren't near any other plastics. In that case,
would I pay $40-$50 for a new set of sling plastics? No question.

Agreed - but nobody is going to notice if the slingshots are more vivid
than the rest of the plastics. Those are the ones everyone is looking
for..

Correction: I thought I had a complete BK2000 plastic set. Actually
I bought a set that does not have the slingshot plastics in them. Sorry
for misleading anyone on the set. I bought the set as "complete"
being a spare in case I restored my pin.

Marco Specialities have the BK2000 slingshots in stock at the moment at
$22.40 for the pair. Part number is 31-1006-563-SS I just ordered a
set but they haven't arrived yet so can't comment on the quality. Of
course on the web site they look fine

They've also got a limited stock of BK2000 back glasses too. Put Black
Knight into the search and the goodies will show up.
