WTB: Spare pin lock posts

I have 9 pin lock kegs so i am pretty much going to go with pin locks.

Today i noticed that at least one of them is missing a pin from a post, so now i am thinking it would be a good idea to have a couple sets of extra posts.

I know i can buy these from cornykeg.com but i figured that since so many people convert them to ball locks, there has to be someone out there with pin lock posts rolling around in a box?

I have 2 sets of posts. One Cornelius and one Firestone set. I'd let them go for $20 shipped. I won't be back home till Sunday so wouldn't be able to ship till Monday at the earliest. Let me know. I can post pics Sunday if you want too.

Would you be willing to trade ball lock for pin lock? I have a few kegs I have not converted yet. I believe they are all firestone.

Seriously considering this. cornykeg.com sells used pin lock posts for $3ish each, but their website only shows firestone posts. And the one that i have missing a pin on the gas side is cornelius.

kegs or posts?

I have to admit that i have two ball lock kegs with questionable plastic lids, so i am considering placing an order w/ cornykeg.com for lids anyway, so that i can get the ball locks up to snuff and then sell them - hopefully for enough money to buy three or four more pin locks some day when they come along again.

Just the posts. My kegs are in great shape just not ball lock.

oh, well, i don't have any ball lock posts around, except those as I'm using.

Conversion kits are about $12 - http://www.cornykeg.com/index.asp?category=29144

plus shipping, of course. they also sell a universal lid w/ manual pressure relief valve for $13.

For me i decided that converting 9 kegs was cost prohibitive for no real gain. I can release pressure through the gas post on a pin lock just fine. I just cut the gas dip tube down to about a half inch long to avoid beer fountains.

I have a set of Cornelius pin lock posts $15 shipped.

Does that include the popets springs and o-rings? If so, I'll take them

I'd like to state for the record that i am well stocked on poppets and o-rings. for my own personal use. you buy 11 kegs, you buy consumables in bulk . . . .

Yes that includes poppets and o rings. They are Cornelius posts which will fit any cornelius keg, which is different than firestone so just be sure what you have.

Here are pics of the posts I have. Let me know of you're interested. I converted 2 pin locks to trade and these are what came off. The kegs held pressure before I converted them. The poppets are included as well.

I am also looking for pin lock post, 2 sets Firestone, also 2 dipsticks.

Posts shipped out today. They should be to you by Friday.

Thanks!

Thanks! So far i haven't had any trouble with that one-pin-having gas post but i am wary of hooking it up to gas 24/7.

I think instead I'll use it on a line cleaning rig w/ a garden sprayer pump system.

I've got two Firestone kegs w/ pin locks I got by accident. I'd trade the posts with poppets for ball locks or a few $ (or ?) if I get the ball lock conversion posts.

I have two sets of Firestone pin lock posts I would be wiling to sell. They are off of 10 gallon Firestone challenger kegs that I converted to ball lock. Threads are 9/16"-18 (gas) and 5/8"-18 (liquid)

I have one set of pin locks Cornelius. I will
Trade them for ball locks
