Picked These Up Today For $75

I'm a total noob to kegging and brewing but I'm getting into it. Originally I was going to use 2.5 gallon cornies.

I got these 3 items today for $75. Did I do a good job or did I get ripped? What will I need to get them both hooked up to the c02? One is a ball lock and the other is just a standard keg I assume?

Now the question is... Sanyo 4912 for these bad boys or a Frigidaire Keezer.

IMHO, Score! Do you need both at once?

Good! I don't need both at once but I figured it would be nice to have 2 different beers on tap so there is an option. The c02 tank is full as well... 700 PSI!

Nice start to a "pin lock" system. I don't think you got ripped at all. You got a regulator and cage, a 5# co2 tank, a keg and hoses plus connectors and a party tap. Seems like a decent price.

I found a Sanyo 4912 for $200 on craiglist and the lady won't budge... or I could buy a frigidaire freezer for $179 from best buy new.

Nice score! I would recommend trying to trade the keg in pic 1 for one the same as in pic 2. The lines/fittings you have are only compatible with keg 2. So if you got another then you are good to go serving two beers.

Score!!!

Also, just as a note so you know what you've got. Keg #1 is a ball lock and keg #2 is a pin lock. You fittings are for pin lock.

I see pin lock and ball lock fittings on those hoses. i think he's set up for both kegs. Good score.

So do I need anything else to run both at once?

My mistake, you're correct, I didn't see the black fitting.

just a tee / wye or manifold to supply CO2 to both of the 'red' hoses. and beer..

Another option would be to tag a second regulator so you can run each tank at a separate pressure.
Have fun.

That's always the preferred setup, but requires a bit more expense and is quite a bit more work.

BTW - high pressure port threads are left handed, if you happen to go that route.

Honestly, before you get too far into this I'd recommend selling one of the kegs with the matching disconnects and getting a pair match. It's a pain to run both standards.
