I'm sorry if this has been covered before, but I've got a couple of pins that are going to be moved to a unheated, ground floor room before being picked up. I anticipate one being in that room about a day, while the other will be up to a week or so. What concerns should I have about temperature or anything having to do with the Backglass/Playfield glass?

Should I keep the glass inside, or just leave it be?

How much of a swing? From my experience, if its a gradual change I haven't ever had problems. I wouldn't sweat the playfield glass, but its easy enough to pull the backglass out just to be safe.
 
I wouldn't think it would be more than 10 - 15 degrees difference. The games will be put in there during the day, when the temp isn't much different than inside. It's at night when it cools down I'm concerned about.
 
I had my Black Knight 2000 in my SUV for 2 days, then in my unheated garage for a week before it made it to the basement. That was in January. No issues with that. I think it is the larger swings that affect the glasses more, but if you're worried about it, I would just pull the backglass.
