Interesting question.
Would the extra humidity cause parts to rust?
Would mildew become an issue?
Would the wood warp?
Wiring and electronics would probably be OK.

Quoted from jackd104:They should be in a climate controlled place if possible.
And if they are not? For whatever the reason. Then what?
Quoted from ausretrogamer:With this brutal Australian summer we just had, our evaporative air-conditioner was on almost every day and almost every night.
What we noticed was that a number of our floorboards had buckled and a few doors were sticking. This got me thinking, if I had my pinball machines in the house (instead of the garage), what impact this would have had on the physical (cabinet/playfield), mechanical & electrical aspects of my machines?
PS: this came to mind as I’m contemplating expanding the collection into the house.
Well dude, it sounds like swamp coolers and pins don’t mix.
