    I am going to have to store a pin or two for around 8 months in a storage facility. What are the steps I should take to make sure the pin is stored properly? I wish I didn't have to store any but space is a huge problem and the girlfriend won't allow #3 into the house

    Remove the batteries

    Dryer sheets to repel mice and silica packs for moisture. That's what I would recommend but I'm kinda a noob.

    I'm awaiting a beat down if that is bad advice.

    Put em in a fellow pinsiders climate controlled gameroom, and go play them regularly.

    It's basically like this...

    - Take out the batteries.

    That is really the one big thing. I've stored lots of games in lots of places, and unless you're putting mouse food in them, they don't move in, and unless you can fully seal them (very hard) you can't stop some moisture from coming in. Pull the batteries, and let them sit.

    Friend's houses are the best though I even store one of mine at an arcade. Where it earns money for them.

    If they have real backglasses remove them and store in a temp controlled environment.
