How to best clean a H7864 power supply? [BA23 Box]

I didn't end up getting an air compressor, and instead got an electric corded blower. The air blower I bought was an XPOWER A-2S 90CFM corded electric blower, from Amazon, based on some online recommendations. Apparently the 'A2' model (without the 'S') includes more attachments than the 'A-2S' that I got.

In either case, it's a really strong blower (90CFM) and it cleaned out all dust and gunk in the old PDP I was restoring without any problems.

I am interested in the compressor idea but I don't really know what exactly to look for. Could someone share a link to the kind of product you mean please? I did buy myself a hand held blower that is supposed to be for cleaning computers, it sort of does the job but it isn't all that powerful.

I use the earlier model of this which I bought about 10 years ago when it was on special IIRC for only A$149:

I use it to clean dust out of old computers, blow IPA off PCBs after cleaning them, use it with my nail gun and spray gun, inflate tires, etc. Look after the compressor and it will last a life time. Mine paid for itself many times over.

There are many brands and models to choose from. Most will perform quite well for a hobbyist.
