Refrigerating Circuit Board Based Attenuator

Hello:

We just purchased a dual mono set of circuit board w/ resistor based attenuators for our monoblocks. They are stored until the technician who works on our amps. is available to install them.

Given the heat and humidity in our area: would someone please guide me on the benefits or detriments of storing these instruments in a refrigerator or perhaps the freezer. Would storing them in the freezer -- as opposed to the relatively milder temps. of the fridge -- potentially crack the plastic circuit board or threaten resistor integrity?

Thank you for your technical expertise and happy listening!

I take it this means the circuits will die a miserable frozen death. I did some research and apparently the condensation bringing them out of frozen condition will likely do more harm than if they were simply left alone, outside, sitting on a shelf in a relatively dry area.

Thank you gentlemen and pleasant listening to you.

Your best bet is to take a photograph of them and store that in the freezer. Ask Geoff Kait or May Belt, they'll confirm...
