I don't know if this has been posted before but I ordered four more pin lock corney kegs. To save money I opted for the ones that were not rebuilt. They arrived somewhat clean and supposedly pressure tested.
Anyway during disassembly a few of the o-rings were dry rotted and fell apart. The big lid o-ring and poppet valves were in good condition. Instead of ordering a rebuild kit for each keg I went to the local HD to see if they had replacements.
In the faucet isle I found that the #83 o-ring fit both the liquid and gas tubes. While the #10 o-ring fit the gas and liquid exterior fittings. The kegs are filled and pressurized with no leaks. The total cost was under five dollars to replace the o-rings on up to five kegs.
Hope this helps
