Yes that is the damper diode, and if it was shorted the HOT would blow instantly without giving a picture. I got my set to run fine for a few minutes until I killed the HOT by changing focus while the TV was on.
I measured the diode with the diode test mode on my multimeter. Few hundred ohms resistance in one direction if I remember correctly.

I don't have a lightbulb socket that'd make such a mod convenient. And what purpose would that serve? Fuse only blows when HOT is blown. Maybe you should smoke less weed (no offense)!
