Pins 4 and 5 were tied together with one side of the AC line connected to pin 5. The 0.047 uF capacitor between pins 4/5 to pin 7 had cracked. There is evidence of smoke damage all around the 35W4.
Although I have similar RCA radios from the same era (Mid 50's), I just want to make sure that the 35W4 is connected correctly. All the tubes test good in a tester. Thanks!
