Are old kegs like:

Worth using? or too old to be any good?

i think if you just replace the rubber seals you should be fine, I heard the syrup gets into em pretty good

They're a solid keg, though the small opening does make it a little harder to clean. Though a good scrub and seal kit will get you years of good service.

Warm caustic is pretty good at nooks and crannys if you're safe.

Posts are in stock at G&G so I would think they should be able to sort you or you can go to the guys who still make them at very special prices. Nev also had some posts but that was a few months back. Most good HBS should be able to track down kits. though beware outside Nev and G&G ball Lock posts for these can get VERY EXY.

I can't find them on Nev's site. Is anyone able to post a link please?

I think this is them at Grain & Grape. Have I got the rights ones? http://www.grainandgrape.com.au/products/category/KAIUEOMA-kegs-and-accessories/7KEG%20TANK%20PL%20TAY%20LIQ

I believe the two at the top are the ones you want. G&G is having a 20% off stocktake sale today only, on their website and in store.

Cheers, just went and had a look through the box of stuff that came with the kegs that I got off gumtree and found what I think is one. Changed it over and gassed the keg to test how it seals.
