I have an opportunity to aquire 6 5 gallon pin lock kegs complete with regulators, manifolds, liquid and gas fittings free where I work. Is it worth bothering with these? They look well used and came from Coke. Are replacement O rings for these available and are they the same as Ball Locks? Thanks in advance for any replies.

If you don't want them you will have no problem unloading them to folks on this site! Sounds like a steal. Wish I could get some kegs for free. I only have 7 and need more. Always more!
Bang! Let me be the first to say if you don't want them I will buy them from you. Definitely take them! As long as nothing is wrong with them, all you need to do is buy different connections.

Lids are the same but the posts are slightly different.

No! You don't want them!
In fact to make sure they never have a chance to tarnish some unsuspecting homebrewer's great beer, you should tell me where they are - So that they may be disposed of quickly, and painlessly
I promise it'll be humane

Here you go bud - O-Rings are CHEAP

Thanks for the replies. Sweetsounds you really made up my mind. As long as these things can be rebuilt inexpensivly guess I will get into kegging. They also want to get rid of thier CO2 tanks. They say property of coke all over them would be sweet if I could get them refilled

Take 'em! Even if they need to be hydro checked, you'll have $30 tanks - You can easily double your money on them here or on eBay.

i'm all ball-lock, but free-99 is the best price. i only recommend staying with one type or the other for simplicity.
