Good Deal on New Ball Lock Kegs

I wonder if you could swap out for a straight dip tube. I have a few cornies with straight dip tubes. Maybe just a simple swap.

The LHBS had some early examples for evaluation, in addition to Tom's comments, the interior weld surfaces were not to the quality I was used to seeing. Maybe they have gotten better.

I think the easiest fix is to attach a little bit of tubing to the end of the diptube - it would be annoying but cheap.
The inside welds on the ones I have look fine to me, but I'm not an expert.

The inside is fine except the bottom has a punt like a champagne bottle but the diptube goes to the center, so there is still a cup or so of liquid left in the bottom after the keg kicks. It's not necessarily a problem, just something to be aware of.

I guess that might keep your beer clearer though, especially if you move it around. Yeast would settle away from the dip tube.

Or pull it out and straighten it. Might not get to the bottom, but should be a little lower.
