Ain't that the question of the hour?!
My #1 Singer treadle spent 10+ years in a garage or storage locker with "0" climate controls before I got interested in making it go. It wasn't getting wet, so it didn't get hurt.
I don't like keeping them out in the garage or shed, but I'm also out of room inside. So either they have to go out side, or be rehomed. At least if they are outside, I can switch them out and use them from time to time.
