Hi...

Now you have me wondering.... he said it was unplugged, but suppose it
wasn't;

Then heat would be the least of his problems. Too easy to get jolt from an
old TV.

I did wonder if there were some capacitors in there that might have held a
charge and produced a mild shock after a few months... but I suspect they
wern't that good (high leakage) and they certainly wouldn't have stored
enough energy to produce heat for months.

The CRT could store a charge for months. They actually could rebuild a
charge on their own.
