I wouldn't convert a B&H clarinet into a lamp unless it was in very poor condition or missing parts. Most of them are pretty good players and more than worth the cost of an overhaul.

The 4-20 was one of a number of intermediate models that were made for the US market, most of which had only minor differences between them. The clarinet is basically the same accoustic design as the professional-level Imperial 926 but will have slightly different keywork, tenon rings, and bell design (most of the models destined for the US market had metal-rimmed bells while those for the European market and all of the professional models had rimless bells).
