I have done one or two S2000's in the past but you should find a barcrest top first as trying to retro one is no fun.   I don't know much about the S+ barcrest so I can't comment on that.

You need the following

Barcrest top like top dollar
software Eprom and sound SIMM
reel strips
matching glass

This sold about a month and a half ago on ebay.  They called it a reel touch top.  I'm not sure if that implies it is a barcrest but the top was rather tall.

Mayby they have more?   CORRECTION:  It has been relisted!

I'm looking for an S2000 RT cabinet myself to convert a 9" chop top.

Good Luck.

That will not work for a barcrest setup, if you are going the barcrest route best to get a compete top otherwise you will find it hard to get a complete setup with all needed parts.

I gather it's really hard to find Barcrest only tops as most vendors don't want to part out the games??

I bought one of those because my reel touch topbox had a crack all the way along the top of the laminate. They are NOT for the origional reel touchs. Although you can gut them and put reel touch hardware inside as they have all the correct screw holes available :89- Be aware also that these are flat black finish laminate and not the shiny black they commonly have. As far as Barcrest tops, they are hard to come by and you need to find one complete because the controling backplane behind the fancy glass is even more difficult to find. A complete topbox mounts easily and changing chips and reel strips isn't tuff either. Good luck :3-
