I know this may seem a foreign concept, but the Picture Tube is a big capacitor. It's dielectric is the glass envelope and it can hold a 40kV charge for years. (Yes that is years not months!) The other capacitors should have circuitry to drain the charge but they also may hold a hundred volt charge (or more) and should not be handled indiscriminantly.
