I found a lady that was cleaning out her father's basement. She put up an ad on craigslist selling random stuff and I saw the pictures and I ran over and picked up all of her kegs from her father's old restaurant business. Mixed in with the bunch are a few that I haven't seen a picture of, they are old tab soda kegs they are marked as Coca-Cola kegs but they look a little different. Also there is a Firestone keg that's marked 7-Up, I'm guessing by the way it looks it's a ball lock?

$50 for the lot, but they still had 30yo syrup in them.........

The Tab keg I'm sure is a pin lock but never seen a picture with that style lid. Just want to make sure it doesn't need any special parts when I find the time to refurbish.

The lid is on backwards. The large flap is to cover the pin lock posts for transport.

Nice grab! Should clean up nicely. Change out all the seals, poppets, and prv's.
