Picked these up yesterday, and pretty happy with the purchase. The taps themselves are average and a mixed bunch, but the tower itself has a copper neck and brass collar on it. At first look they are pretty manky, but they scrub up pretty well. I only polished one for 5 minutes, and it needs more work, but has potential. I think copper needs a bit more looking after than brass, but they are nice anyway. I told the guy selling them, that if he got anymore or any coolers or such to post it up here. He's basically a carpenter or shopfitter type who often has to clear out pubs when putting in new, so maybe a handy contact. He told me that he threw away loads of coolers, so that was a bit gutting.
I'll be in touch with the lads who are taking them to arrange collection.
