Does anyone have a source for foam balls similar to those found in

Pneumatic parts have been available form shop@home.  (860) 763-4011 US
& (800) 267-5346 Canada.  Check your catalog or Lugnet for these:

5108 Large Cylinder $3.25 US
5107 Pump $3.25 US
5109 Tubing & T $3.25 US
5099 Valve $2.75 US

5110 Includes one of each of the above $10.75 US

There is also:
5116 Small Cylinder $4.00 Can
5117 Compressor Pump $5.25 Can

The blue air tanks are not available separately AFAIK.
