In most cases the Hot does short and the IHVT is ok. Yes the relays need to energize for B+ and yes you can test it without the crt/yoke. I think (not sure) there is a glass fuse located in the SMPS circuit. I know it's a pain to pull the control panel out, but if you have a long shaft #2 phillips (Sears, Auto Zone.....) it's not too hard to deal with, just gotta have steady hands, good flashlight and magnetize the phillips head.
