[78-L] Do 78 rmp records deteriorate in cold temperatures? Hurricane Sandy created a terrible problem.

[ERIC BYRON]

I want to thank everybody for the information about temperature and 78s.  It is greatly appreciated.

From my experience, cold and dry is OK, but the real stressor on these old discs is quick changes.  They will do much better in an insulated (though unheated/uncooled) space where changes are very slow to occur.

I would think that cold but dry would be OK.

Hurricane Sandy created a terrible problem.

I have a rather large collection of 78s that now are housed in a space that
no longer has environmental controls.  Hurricane Sandy destroyed the systems
and at the moment I have no place to store the records.  Are the records
going to deteriorate as winter approaches?  Can somebody give me the
temperature level that is too cold?
