Air Hockey needs a steroid shot- suggestions on replacement blowers?

[LCHIEN]

the bad news is that with this an most of the other methods the dust and dirt will just be in the plenum chamber waiting to be blown back intot he holes later.
Maybe put a shop vac where the motors normally blow into and try and suck the dust out of the plenum as you blow the air nozzle into the holes.

On the DIY website Instructable they built a nice one from scratch and used a small leaf blower. Here is the link below. Instructable and Makezine are two cool DIY websites. http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Air-Hockey-Table-1/

If the vac is too noisy try Surplus Center for a blower.

Do you think you could rheostat it if it's too much?

[LCHIEN]

can't rheostat that kind of motor.
Use the existing motor power (or blower CFM nameplate) as a guide for your replacement motor.
