It's always a good idea to switch the hot side of the power cord on transformer sets. So a polarized plug is recommended. That's assuming the outlets in your house are wired correctly. Which sadly, many are not. To check, go to your local home improvement/hardware store and they sell a little plug with lights for about $5. Go around to every outlet and it will light up and tell you if your outlets are wired correctly.
And again, I'd stress that you do more than just replace C35. This radio is riddled with rubber wiring where the insulation is most likely flaking off if you look at it wrong. And if you want the radio to perform correctly/reliably, you need to replace all paper/wax caps and check all resistors. Your club members are way off base in telling you that these things don't need to be done.
