I have two kegs with a plastic threaded vent that bulkheads into a 1/2" hole in the keg lid as opposed to the one with the raised stainless threaded kind that the poppet and ring thread directly into the top of the keg.
When taken apart there is not way to get to the internal parts so the whole thing has to be replaced. The only kind I can find are the kind shown in the picture at this site. In the upper left hand corner of this page it shows 4 small valves. Mine looks like the second from the left.

I have been unable to find a replacement valve and it looks like I will have to replace the lid as well. Anyone know a source for these older type valves?
Edit: On the same site I found a picture of the valve. They sell the seat o rings and say that the o rings are probably the problem. However, mine is leaking out of the vent holes, not the seat so it is the valve itself that needs replacing.
