Okay.. I found where I had a short.. My output cap was shorting to
something. I cut the lead off shorter and I no longer have a short and have
stopped blowing fuses... Yey!

I think I may have the wrong value zener. The inverter comes on for a split
second and turns back off. Both Lamps are working now... well at least they
are comming on for a split second..

What now? This is the zener I replaced with a 1N5237b738 (supposedly a 8.2v
zener)

Someone told me that this was a 8v2 zener in another post titled SMT Diode
Identification

Okay.. I don't know what is going on.. I replaced the shorted zener and
the light lights for a split second and then blows the fuse.. Must be a
short somewhere..

Could it be that I used a 24pF 1kv capacitor on the output instead of a
22pF 3kv?

I took the transformers off and they both ohm very similarly... I think
they are both good, but it is late and I'll give it a more careful check
tomorrow.

Okay... The color charts I found versus the colors on this diode don't
make sense.. It is orange, red, black and green.. so that makes it a
1N320E ?? I can't find any diodes with that part number.

Maybe I'm just color blind.. Can someone tell me if I got the colors
right?
