Where can you buy them in Aus? And do you know how much they are?

Nah these ones here are the best value

My game plan will be a nice and slow drill using alot of wd-40, and alot of patience.
If i can get the one hole out of it ill be stoked cause thats all i need. and for $10 ill be happy.
But then again i tend to shoot myself in the foot occasionally.

Haha

Did you get a receipt for the keg? I'm just wondering how they prove that it's a decommissioned keg. They're imported, aren't they?

Cheers.

As far as im concerned they are imported, not labeled etc.
And also I kept the receipt somewhere safe. Also helps if I get some help from metal work if they ask etc.

Cheers

$55 sounds like a bargain for a legit keg. Good buy.

I drop in to Keg King's Melbourne store every now and then. Might have to look at the 2nd hand kegs next time I'm in there. Can always use more kegs.

I kept an eye on gumtree but to save $10 an have to travel other side of melbourne, seemed alright to drive to springvale so. Why not. Just hold your receipt.

Hey mate i bought 2 x keg king elements a few months ago and what people say is true.. they are terrible.

I can make a suggestion though, use some strain relief with cable ties it will give it a longer life. at least im hoping with mine... ill get a pic brb
