I'm new to this, but something doesn't seem right. I got 2 reconditioned kegs. One seems fine and all part look like a standard firestone keg. The other one has Cornelius etched in the side and the out port has a standard Cornelius port on it. By this I mean, it is narrow, has a 11/16" 6 sided base and has a cornelius style poppet inside it. On the in side, the port looks like a firestone port. It has a very thin base that is star shaped for a 7/8" size socket. But inside is a Cornelius style poppet. It holds pressure, but the little plastic ring above the spring is completely falling apart. Getting it to lined up when reinstalling takes some effort. Should I just replace the poppet with a Firestone poppet or does the port and poppet need to be replaced? The keg threads match booth the in and the out ports.
Like I said, first time doing this, but looking at all the pics and reading all I could, it looks like I have 2 different style ports on this keg. Is that ok?
