Most of my cornies are Challenger V & VI's. And I have found places to order these poppets.
But one of my kegs looks to be older than the rest. It says it is a Challenger but not what type. Is this a "Type C?"
The kegs itself is slightly different as well. It is a standard ball lock but the posts seem taller somehow. The dip tube does not bend and the keg drains from one side of the bottom instead of in the middle like standard kegs. And where the posts screw on is at least twice as large as the other kegs i have.
The label reads:
"Firestone Steel Products Co.
Spartanburg, S.C.
712765
Max. Cap. 5 Gal.
Challenger"
Then there is a really old looking NSF stamp.
This lid is slightly different as well. It is slightly less oval like than other kegs.
The lid reads:
"NDSA-VS-01"
If someone could point me in the direction of a poppet that would be great.
It just occurred to me that i could test the other Challenger V poppets (from my other kegs) in this keg to see if they fit.
