Picked up a used c02 system for commercial kegs from craigslist. (Tank, single gauge regulator, lines, shank, faucet, and keg connection.
What do I need to convert it to corney keg use? I'll eventually want to have 2 beers on tap. Can you suggest a good mail order source?
 
The connector for the sanke (commercial) keg needs to be removed and ball-lock connectors put in their place, one for gas, one for beer.

To use it for multuiple kegs, you need to split the gas line coming off the regulator and attach two gas ball-lock connectors to it. (and buy what you need to make a second tap for the second keg.)
 
I thought i read something about needing a shutoff/checkvalve because homebrew kegs dont have them and regular ones do?

Yeah.. you want a shut-off. Without pictures, I just assumed there was already one on the regulator output.
