It might be right on the back side of the socket of the horiz output. It can either be a black barrel body or a grey round ball - either will have fairly thick leads.
Electrically, the cathode of the diode will be connected to the collector (metal case) of the horiz output and the anode connected to the emitter of the transistor (ground). If you look behind the socket, it should be there.
If it's not, trace the wire from the collector (screws are collector) to the main board to locate the diode.
Clip or unsolder one end, reinstall the horiz output, and see if the short to the case is gone. If it is, the diode is shorted but do NOT run the TV without the damper connected or you will immediately destroy your horiz output which right now is still good.
