Quoted from Scuba_Steve:

Does anyone know if a pinball cover (like the one pictured) provides any protection against the cold?

They should make these out of heated blankets. That would rock.

I've worked on electronics for 20 years and never seen low temps cause a problem. Refrigerators have boards in the fresh food section and sometimes in the freezer with no issues. It's temp fluctuations. Now the artwork is a different story. Humidity with temp flux will cause long term issues. Now on vids with tube monitors you need to be careful. Cold glass getting heated quickly is bad news.
