It is a boost diode, it is a fast recovery, high voltage, low current device operating at scan frequency. It should be replaced with the same type. Failure causes low CRT screen voltage and therefore poor brightness.

A typical 1N4007 series diode will get hot and soon fail. Boost diodes should be plentiful.
