Broken Tap, time to replace w/ Perlick

[MikeG]

I have one of these, Micromatic Tower and went to open a tap that's been closed for over a month that was pretty sticky and broke the handle so I need to replace it.

Anyone happen to know if I order a perlick can I easily replace this or will I need some kind of adapter? I'm fairly ignorant of different kegging options so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

A perlick faucet will screw onto the front where the existing faucet is now.

Did you actually break the faucet lever or just the handle that's threaded on?

The freaking faucet . I thought about seeing if I could get it open (friend was over and wanted to sample that keg as well) and thought better of it....I might get it open but could I close it? lol.

Thanks for the help guys!

You could get a new one, but if you don't want to do that you could always just buy this new lever (assuming that's the part you broke):
keg beer Faucets draft kegerator Brass Faucet Lever

or in stainless
keg beer Faucets draft kegerator Stainless Steel F

Of course, buying a new perlick is probably way more fun
