I have yet to get the dehumidifiers I need to keep my cellar and attached shop dry.
It's been humid lately and an idea popped

Place a 100 wat bulb inside the case of the machines for which I want to prevent condensation. Thussly turning each machine into a little easy bake oven.

The only thing that militates against this rather cheap idea is saw dust.

single bulb non-switched light fixtures don't generate sparks unless something is wrong like a loose contact. The bulb will get hot, but unless it's within a few inches of flamable material it won't make it hot enough to ignite.

Thoughts??

If you've got 4-5 machines that you are worried about how about just using a small electric heater to raise your shop temp above the dew point?
