Update on the Philco 51- 527 clock/radio.
Received a new 35Y4 rectifier tube.
Installed the tube and hooked up meter to measure voltage.
Everything worked, and the lamp voltage settled at 4.3 volts.
Ran a few hours and still ok.
Installed the 300 ohm resistor across the lamp, just in case.
Still works good so I'm declaring this puppy restored. Icon_clap

Thanks to all..
