I would say capacitor too. It would be driven by the flyback transformer, and the CRT (picture tube) itself will act like a large capacitor with very good (glass) dielectric. To hold a charge that long the air would have to be bone dry and clean. Hours or even days or weeks is common enough. Years, on the other hand, I have not heard anyone describe.
The name Horrible Fright came into being back in pre-history, based on the value and reliability of what they sell. The first form to show up was just Harbor Fright.
There are similar mocking names for Home Depot (also called Big Orange), Lowe's (also called Blue), The U.S Snail Service, etc.
One of my favorite HF stories is their 3-ton jack stands, which are stamped 3-tons on each one and are actually rated for 3-tons of supported weight per pair!
After all, you only use them in pairs, right?
