are there any others beside Straub that still use the two-prong?

Fewer all the time, Tom.

Down in the cellar I have two of those taps and one of the even older
taps with the long rod that had to be rammed into the kegs, dislodging
a plug in the process.

Lew, do you suppose in a couple of years I can get a big pile of money
for them as antiques? Or should I just donate them to the Smithsonian?

I've seen posts here from people in the Pittsburgh, PA area. Can any of them
tell me what draft beers are available in this area that still use the the
twin-probe (2-probe or dual probe) such as the Hoff-Stevens twin-probe keg
connector?
Since Pittsburgh Brewing switched to the the single valve or Sankey type draft
beer keg connector (with the exception of Augustiner Dark, I understand), are
there any others beside Straub that still use the two-prong?

Fewer all the time, Tom. Yuengling has switched to Sankey, Rolling Rock did
years ago, even most of the micros are now going to Sankey. Come to think of
it, I can't remember the last time I saw a NEW Hoff-Stevens keg. A lot of
them are being retro-fitted as Sankeys (a keg's usually good for 35-40
years, so it makes sense to do it). I think Yards still does
Hoff-Stevens...and Weyerbacher, maybe. Don't know about Penn, I doubt it.
Sorry I can't be more definitive about it.

Vince, there are SO damned many of these taps around...you should just leave
them lying around on the sidewalk!

Or dislodging your face or the ceiling!
