    Quoted from illudiumQ36:

    What is the coldest room temp a pin should be subjected to? I know at some point, the paint on the playfield and backglass will shrink and cause issues, as well as the wood shrinking. I'm wanting to move some pins into an unheated workspace, but don't want to mess them up. Thanks.

    I think 50° Is the safest and that’s pretty cold. The worst thing is temperature SWINGS for pins. If it goes from 50° to 80° to 50° in 6 hours, the pins are gonna have a terrible time. If it goes from 50° to 60° in 12 hours that’s fine. Slow, gradual temperature changes are best for a pin. I wouldn’t recommend playing them when it’s below 50°
