Depending on what is wrong with them I doubt they are worth repairing, if you had to pay anyone the labour alone would probably cost you more then the keg. If it's a diy job it could be worth doingmanticle said:I need a few fixed up. Any recommendations? All ball lock, different types and different issues. Need someone to assess and repair or recommend avenue of repair.
Could turn them into ss fermenters with a ball valve but if they are becoming rare, I'd rather hang onto them.
Leaky posts, etc. Tried replacing various bits so might be kegs rather than accessories. Worth the extra cash to do if I simply can't get them any more.Pugdog1 said:Depending on what is wrong with them I doubt they are worth repairing, if you had to pay anyone the labour alone would probably cost you more then the keg.

It is just the used, secondhand cornys that are becoming scarce - exactly the same kegs new (Italian AEB) are about $40 more than the secondhand ones.
A new o-ring around the diptube (make sure it's lubricated) usually fixes it, if it's leaking out the top then a new poppet seal, again, lubricate.manticle said:Leaky posts, etc. Tried replacing various bits so might be kegs rather than accessories.

I thought the Italians were around the 200 mark? I had second hands for around 40-100 depending on luck
A cornet is basically the same as a trumpet, but with a mellower sound.... but not quite as mellow as a flugelhorn. But that's not important right now.Mardoo said:What else have cornets been used for historically?
Are you sure those aren't kegkings new ones as that's exactly the same price as his and that site doesn't say they're made in Italy or anything. Which is normally a big selling point for aeb ones.MaltyHops said:19lt Ball Lock Post Mix Keg Brand New AU$119.95
Not counting postage, I guess.
Ed. And I guess price of these could well go up once secondhand ones are no longer available.
I'm pretty sure I spoke with Amanda from BB about those ones being AEB ones (I wouldn't stake my life on not being wrong about this thoughPugdog1 said:Are you sure those aren't kegkings new ones as that's exactly the same price as his and that site doesn't say they're made in Italy or anything.
