How to identify if I have a ball lock or pin lock keg?

[thisispants]

Just bought a second hand corny keg.... I'm in the process of buying all the bits and bobs to get my first keg set up happening.....

Anyone know how to tell the difference between a ball lock and a pin lock keg?

If it's a pin lock there will be three pins at the base of the gas & liquid posts for the QD's to twist on to, if no pins then you've got a ball lock

I have a keg on the left that has been converted to ball lock. Best to look at the post for the 2 small knobs on each post the size of match stick heads
