I found some pin lock kegs but all my stuff if for ball lock so I was going to convert them over. It looks pretty easy just unscrewing one and replacing it with the other. How much will it cost though for one keg and is that all i need to do?
 
I believe the threads are different so you can't just swap out. But there are options:

1. Use flared QDs throughout, then you can just unscrew pin/ball as needed
2. Buy ball-lock posts that are made with the pin-lock threads, to do the conversion. I know Cornykeg.com has them.
