I happened upon a slightly damaged corny that someone was giving up because it won't hold pressure. I met the person and got the free corny and it's obvious that the opening is just out of true, thus causing the lid to fail to make a seal.
I'm somewhat handy so I intend to bang this thing back into trueness and test...but when I placed it next to all my other ball-lock cornies I noticed how much shorter and fatter this guy was. Sure enough, it's a pin-lock that someone converted to ball lock.
So here's my question. Since I got this thing for free, I was thinking about extending my karma and giving it to a pin-lock friend in kind. What is involved in converting a Pin-lock keg that's been converted to Ball-lock back over to pin-lock?
Is it just as simple as changing the posts? If so, I'd gladly just keep the ball lock as spares and get this guy setup with a third keg.
Any tips?
