Yes the tube itself acts like an electrical condensor and holds the charge until released by grounding it.

I had a 17" monitor that was gutted and sitting around for a year. Just for shits and giggles I touched the inlet hole for the primary cable, gave me a nice zap.

I must admit 220v gives a much better jolt, not as much fun though especially with anything above 50 amps

50 amps don't hurt DB it's the voltage that hurts, the ampage is what is required to push said voltage through the body

Amps = the meausurement of the Flow of electrons
Voltage = Potential Energy Difference, aka the "PUSH" for electrons
