I brew some batches for a buddy of mine who has a Sanyo 4912 kegerator that can fit two kegs. Depending on my schedule he sometimes has two Cornys and sometimes he swaps them out with a locally-filled Sankey keg. What is the best way to be able to swap the beer line from the pin lock beer out to the sankey coupler without having to pull the cold beer line off the barb every time?
 
It goes like this. Barb on your shank goes into a lenght of tube. At the end of that tube would be a MLF swivel nut, then onto the tailpeice on the sanke keg tap. That make sense?
 
You can even take that one step further, and put corny posts on your sanke connector. This is what I have done in my friend's kegerator as he is beyond mechanically inept. I did it with a handful of fittings a few years back, but now I have seen items like this going around, making it easier:

EDIT: I'm sorry, I overlooked "pin-lock" connector. Yeah, I haven't seen anybody making a pinlock adapter so the next easiest option is the a fore mentioned swivel nuts.
