Can you hear a distinct "crackle" of the high voltage coming up when you turn the set on?

As I viewed the schematic, I believe it was probably the tripler that burst back in the 80's and repaired. I remember the repairman mentioned something about the HV and that back right corner was where the exploded remains of the tripler were. What is the function of the tripler exactly?
Have the original focus dividers been replaced here or are they visible in any of the photos?
I don't remember hearing any sounds at all when turning the set on but will check again.
