Moisture is the biggest enemy.
If the hardware is below the dew point
for the air, it will condense on the hardware
and do damage.
You have to warm things up slowly.
If things are really cold, things can fracture
from sudden changes.
Old electrolytics can freeze if really cold.
Other than those few things, it should be OK.
This brought to mind something used in the music industry--a gizmo called a
"Dampp-chaser":

They've been around since 1947; basically a very low wattage heating unit to placed
inside of pianos and closets and the like.
