    Just checked the temp of the cabinet with a laser thermometer....105.

    Being in the garage with a couple warm cars, I am surprised its not higher.

    Any concerns or precautions to take when games are in hot conditions.

    BTW... game has not been turned on when conditions are like this.

    Temperature fluctuations are what kills the playfield, backglass and cabs.

    As long as it was always 105*F, you would be great. It's when the temp goes up in the day and falls at night that will plank all your wood.

    Thanks for the info!

    I guess the good part is with the garage being somewhat insulated, the temperature doesn't change very drastically or rapidly from day to day, now through the seasons is a different story.

    That provides some extra motivation to get it moved back inside to more constant temperatures soon.
