All in the house/office, no damp, some heating and minimal cobwebs.
On reflection I've been a fair bit bit over cautious. In the back of my mind, I knew they would be probably OK. But I've been detached from electronics repairs for over 10 years. In my defence though I seriously dislike any loud surprises, flashes, releases of magic smoke, even static!
Even today where I was replacing a few capacitors in the control module of my wife's campervan gas water heater, my smartwatch notified me of notifications. Completely drained PCB and still I jumped out of my skin because I forgot to take the watch off!
