I have shot tons of 4 x 5 Polaroid and the chemicals are still alive.  
They were at 50 degrees so they should be okay. I have a Blue  
Electric Processor and what appears to be a first version film  
holder. Concept of donor receiver (negative positive) is clear.  
Problem is how to make it work from loading the film holder to  
inserting the holder and exposed film and receiver into the processor...
