If you have a small cabinet, you might try putting a product like "Damp Rid"
in the bottom of the cabinet. You can find it at places like Lowes and
Wal-Mart. It is basically calcium chloride balls that are suspended in a
strainer with a pan under it to catch the moisture as it drips off. Three of
these seem to do an OK job in my 1903 vintage basement with a running
spring.
My idea here is along the same line as the desiccant packets that they pack
some electronics in, or the air drier compressors that they hook to air
dielectric feedline.
You will probably need to empty the bucket and add more calcium chloride
pellets every year or so, but at a cost of $3 per year, it sure beats a
dehumidifier.
