  That is very true, a old cathode ray type TV has a capacitor that discharges

a 30,000 volt buzz that can kill you also!!  Even unplugged!!

While the high voltage statement is accurate, it is not a capacitor. The CRT tube itself acts as a capacitor - the CRT itself holds the high voltage charge.  Be careful with those!

Yep! Just swapped out the my furnace blower motor... It was toasted. ? So I shorted out the capacitor with a screwdriver for 10 seconds when I unplugged it...
