I’ve got that cap too, great with the pressure gauge (which I may have lost) and you can also use CO2 bulbs with as well as the valve is interchangeable. As long as you grease it and ptfe tape the thread it holds pressure well.

Found this on eBay gauge and disconnect.

Home and dry. . . .
Can anyone do me a favour here. If anyone has the Corny tap (not the flexy tap with tubing), can they mesure the outside diameter of it please.

There's always the king keg treatise to read. It has all the problems and solutions listed.
I've just managed to get a boots keg with deluxe tap. Couldn't resist it for a fiver, for old times sake.

 

[Desmnd]

Never seen one of them. Send a pic and info on how old they are.

I bought mine when I first started brewing in late 80s. I've no idea when they stopped making them. I don't think I'll use it on too high a pressure!
I've got the Hambledon bard valve to fit in the top.

I agree KY not funny, but booza101 said "I replaced my 2inch cap on my kk with one of those 2inch balliihoo caps". I think he means A youngs keg. KKs are 4 inch. I have startef the brew. Hopfull after 2 days in the KK, I should see some form of life.

ooow am sure it says kingkeg on it, will go look.

This a kingkeg?

Looks like it’s time to test the new tap also. Might look for some vaseline just incase!
