You can make a HV probe for your DVM easily. Connect the DVM to the B+ line and measure the voltage. Then, take some high value (megohm) resistors and put a few of them in series between the DVM and the B+ line. Experiment with resistors until you get a reading of 1/10 of the B+ voltage.

Now make a probe, using the resistors soldered together in a string, then put inside a piece of heat shrink tubing. With this probe, the meter will read 1/10 of the voltage being measured.
