Almost all of my kegs are Spartanburg ball-locks. I want to replace some of the posts, both gas and liquid. Anybody have a cheap source for keg posts?
Why do you want to replace the posts? Seems like they would last a long, long time.

I have a few that were dropped and the lip is smashed down. Got my parts from AIH.

true... but it seems I always fight with getting the connectors on and off... do I maybe just need to change out the o-rings and/or poppets?Why do you want to replace the posts? Seems like they would last a long, long time.

I had a couple like that. Seems no one place has them cheap. I just looked at the usual vendors and picked one.

I would start with the o-ring first and lube the post and also look at the condition of the disconnect that goes on to the post too. I have some that have stuck or sticky bearings that are a PITA to get off.
