I bought a group of kegs, and I thought I checked them all, but I missed that one of them was a pin-lock style. Otherwise it's identical to the ball-lock ones, and it's in good shape.
With a wrench, the pin-lock parts came off, leaving the dip tubes sitting in the threaded male parts that are actually welded to the keg top. Do they make screw-on ball-lock parts like that? Has anyone traded out that part?
If I cannot find a way to switch it, I'll likely make one pin-lock picnic tap, and split my CO2 for my conditioning freezer and keep it as a sanitizer container, but it seems like a waste to store sanitizer is a stainless steel keg if I could switch it. Likewise, though, I don't want to go adding pin-lock sets everywhere I use kegs, (I have a conditioning freezer as well as a kegorator and an antique fridge I'm working on restoring for another kegorator). I have 15 or 16 regular ball-lock kegs.
