Ordered two.
Haven't used them yet but seem in reasonable condition, despite one having a largish dent in the bottom.
alot of labels and stuff stuck on the outside of them, but should come off ok if i could be bothered.
Inside they were reasonably clean. came up well after a soak with oxy and a rinse out with saniclean
o rings and seals seem in reasonable condition, but haven't tested them yet. all the posts and dip tubes etc seem fine.
if they work fine when i keg up  a batch , i will probably get two more.
You cant go far wrong at  €40ish each

Usually pressure will pop them closed, also try turning 180

When you fit the lid, lift the whole keg up by the lid handle to let the weight of the keg help the seal, then gently close the lid handle and stick on the co2

Thanks lads will give this a blast later and hopefully won't have to bottle!
