I bought four cornie kegs from ebay stamped from the 60s :? They work fine :)

I bought an old Rotokeg on Ebay with a white cap and a single alloy valve. This snapped in half when I tried to unscrew it. I then found that the cap O rings are no longer available. But found the following site selling a complete cap with injector and relief valve.

http://www.u-can-brew-it.co.uk/rotokeg- ... 1123-p.asp

Has anyone else tried one of these, I'm a bit reluctant to spend £18.00 on the rotokeg as I've accummulated a stash of various barrels and sparklets injectors. And just got an old beer sphere for £3.00 off Ebay.

It is also seems impossible to get the fat O rings for Rotokegs caps anymore, but the one from the Youngs Hobby frmenting bin looks the same size. So i'm going to try out one of those.

Cheers
