Is this a diode? In the schematic there is a diode symbol designated as X1. Is the tan thing a capacitor?

Yes, and Yes. The clear glass component with bands is a diode - Zenith part number will start with a "103-"
The tan component is a tubular ceramic capacitor, most likely a zero drift/temp compensated type. These rarely fail.
The coil/cap/diode combination is usually in the video detector - probably not a starting point for the symptoms you describe. I'll pull the Sams tomorrow afternoon (EDT) and see if I have anything to add.
