You can easily and cheaply get 120vac fans to replace them if you want to. 
Electronics surplus catalogues list them all the time for about US$2.00 
each, or you can probably call a local electronic repair shop (VCR, TV, 
etc.) and they could get you some.  People loved those old monsters to 
death - I think it's the extra work surface you get on the top that they 
love the most!
