My wife and I moved to the beach May 1st and we love it! But, I was just reading an old thread about re-imports that said, to my horror, that machines that have been located on a coastline are to be avoided because the salty air will have caused all manner of problems.

Just a couple days ago, my brother and I were at Pinfest, our first pinball show, where I'd been shopping--unsuccessfully, I have to add--for my first pin. Do I need to give up my longstanding dream of someday owning a pinball because the air in my new home would damage my machine?

Thanks for all the advice, fellas. Sounds like with a little effort, I'll be able to keep a handle on the humidity and my game will be fine. The search for that elusive first pin continues!
