I need some keg advice:

I have one corny pin lock keg and one firestone pin lock keg, I know they have different threads on their liquid and gas posts. The gas post on the corny keg is missing and I am having trouble finding the pin lock parts in Canada for a reasonable price, and shipping from the US is more than the parts themselves.

I haven't purchased any other part of my kegging system except for the two kegs

I can't decide whether to convert them both to ball lock (two different conversion kits) or find the missing gas post and keep the pin lock system. I like the idea that pin lock kegs are generally cheaper, so if I wanted more kegs, staying pin lock makes sense (so I wouldn't have to keep converting) but I don't know what to do.

Suggestions from the experienced keggers?

:mug:
 
If the cost of a single gas post replacement is daunting, don't you think four ball lock posts are going to cost much more?

Cheers!
