It would be ok if I could just have it at full brightness
all the time. Could I substitute 2 diodes in parallel, one
in either direction, to achieve full
brightness?. Any particular diodes?. == Sammy ==

Not quite sure what you mean? Simply bypassing the dimmer and running the
bulb straight off the transformer should be ok. Or if you know it's the
DIAC, replace it.
