Four new (to me) Kegs

[mblanks2]

...3 of which require a 7/8" socket to remove one set of the posts and a 7/8" 12-point socket to remove the other posts. 1 requires an 11/16" socket to remove both posts. All the poppets appear to the be the same.
2 have lids with a stamped label "Firestone" and 2 have lids stamped "Corco". The posts are interchangeable.
I may want to eventually replace with all new components but, what exactly do I have?

Sounds like pinlocks, maybe?

Kegconnection has aftermarket posts: http://www.kegconnection.com/posts-poppets/ and can help you sort through everything that you need.

They're all ball lock. It appears that I have a combination of Firestone and Cornelius brands. Maybe?

This is one type that takes the 7/8" socket

This appears to be the same as the one that takes the 11/16" socket

and this is the one that takes the 7/8" 12 point socket.
They are all ball lock. I just need to know if I want to replace them all, can I do it with the same parts or will they different? They seem to be interchangeable from keg to keg. So if I were to order replacements what would I look for?

So I found out the deal. They are all Cornelius Kegs. According to Josh from keggconnection.com he stated that the keg manufacturer did not want to use there competitors post.
At least I don't have to buy different types of components.

You don't have to buy anyone's components. What you have will work just fine...

Cheers!
