AI saids Vinyls needs to be stored 90 degrees. I had mine at about 70 degrees. Thoughts?

I own about 20 vinyls (some rare DJ mixes or 12 inch mixes). Most of them came from the 90s. I keep my house in about the degree range of 77-80 (I am the type to get cold easy). I kept my vinyls in a milk crate. Most them were stored at angle about 70 degrees. AI saids this is very bad and they could have some warping. Any thoughts, please?

AI is wrong again.  Relax in comfort and enjoy your records.  I bought my first records in 1960, they are still with me in a collection of some 14,000 and still growing.  They did not always get AC either.  They are fine.  Records are quite durable as long as you keep them clean and pay attention to proper maintenance of your turntable and cartridge.

Get  a LP jacket alignment jig.

Been using the ACME titanium model since the 70's.👍

I cant imagine life without. No album in my collection under 88.3 degrees!

Now discontinued AFAIK. Cheap plastic clones available on Temu.
