Yikes--I wouldn't even try it. Even at normal temps, certain components known for causing scorch marks might not be able to dissipate the heat well at all and might end badly.

I can't imagine what else the heat might be damaging on the machines. Warping wood, planking playfields, discoloring decals, outgassing the DMDs....

Play them and work up a sweat is what I say! Drink cold beverages at the same time...

Damn....I won't turn mine on when the house gets over 75 degrees...........Joey

I'd highly suggest installing a small ac unit in the garage then you could play without sweating 5 pounds off. It sure was a scorcher today!

Gee that's to bad for you CA guys. Beautiful 75 and dry here in MN.

I wanted to play so I went to my neighbors basement (alwaysrockin77). Even though we were underground it was still a little balmy. what so you do when you have to play some metallic?

Not necessarily...

Feel the pain. 105 at my place in sac today, and my AC is broken. Got up to 90 inside. Having issue getting anything done with it since everyone wants me to replace all of it instead of fix. Cannot afford a brand new system at the moment.

I'd feel better about using them in the heat than the cold. Cold is when paint chips and plastics break.

I have used my garage as a staging area for projects and never had a problem with the heat, but high 90's are probably the limit here. I crack the door and run a circulating fan.

I paid $700 for a 1 ton ductless AC system for my garage. Best thing I've done to my house in 10 years. I run it basically 24 hours a day at 73. Install was another $700. Small change compared to a pin. Working flawless for almost 2 years now.

I have a mini split A/C in my garage and it's incredible (ceiling is insulated, garage door is not...yet). I installed the outside and inside units, drilled a big honkin' hole through my brick wall, and connected the lines but had an electrician run a circuit from the breaker box and had an HVAC tech vacuum the lines and do a leak check (which required a little wrench tightening to fix a small leak). However, it is a bit noisy so not sure if I'd want one in my house. Plus it has to hang on a wall so might not look too great indoors. It might be more efficient than central air, though. Mine does not provide heat so you might want a model that does both.

If I move I'm going to uninstall that puppy and take it with me.

Saw the thread title and thought it was about BBB number 153 that was stolen in Texas.
That game is too hot to play.

Here in the Midwest, we just go downstairs into the basement where it's always nice and cool in the summer. We enjoy a tasty adult beverage and play as much pinball as we like in a climate controlled setting. Cold outside in the winter?? Not too cold downstairs. If it is, I have a space heater that warms it up nicely. Ahhh, the good life.

Now... Where did my drink go??? Later.....BigB
