<<Sam not being a tech and knowing how easy it is to release a capactors' 
charge. Would those capacitors be holding enough charge to have Sam singing 
Electric Light Orchestra songs out his butt for awhile if they weren't dried 
out?>>

Not to worry. The voltages inside an old TV or CRT monitor are dangerous & 
those caps need discharging before nosing around, but in any battery powered 
audio preamp there's probably nothing higher than 12 volts, & really small 
caps. The caps which can retain a truly dangerous potential are as big as 
sausages.
