General Question about the Electrohome G07

I'm not an electronics engineer so maybe this question might be simple
(also not an Engish major as you can tell). One of my G07's was blowing
the small fuse next to the large filter capacitor due to some problems
with the X01 transistor and the flyback unit being dead. Well, I fixed
all that and it works now, but I didn't realize until I worked on the
monitor that the filter capacitor doesn't discharge without the fuse in
place. I got shocked a couple time before deciding I ought to measure
the voltage accross the leads and it held a 150v charge for a long
time. We're talking a full day. I had this issue with the spare
monitor that I took the fuse out of as well. It even seemed like the
capacitor was even *building* a charge by itself. Why is this?
