    Quoted from Silverstreak02:

    but our weather in Florida can be very hot and humid especially in the garage.

    Sounds like a lot of the arcades I visited while on vacation in the summer months - back when I was a wee little one.

    I wouldn't spend over $500 or $600 on your em to go in the garage. Look for one with a backglass with no flaking if possible. If it does have minor flaking seal it with Tripple Thick in a non-humid environment before you put it in the humid garage.

    Play it and have fun!

    Quoted from Electrocute:

    I live in Florida and wouldn't even consider going into a humid, hot garage to play pinball during the summer.
    If your air handler is located in your garage, go out and buy a 4"x6" metal, not stamped, and install it into your supply plenum or you could run 1 or two drops from the garage ceiling. Seen that done a lot. Otherwise, install a mini split system. You'll also have to insulate the area above your garage.
    I'd think it would be better to stick the machine somewhere in the house.

    Best answer yet!
