Hello all.  I've acquired a 1936 Clinton model 216 table radio built by the infamous "Plant A" in Chicago.  Currently it is a basket case, having been in a basement flooding.  I'll have to completely rebuild the cabinet.  My questions are ...  Is it worth the effort?  Was this a desired radio, or just a mass produced throw away?   Radiomuseum has photos and a schematic available.  I haven't worked with them before and I'm curious if they are a legit source for the information I need.  Anyone out here ever deal with them?  This radio used a line voltage ballast tube (K49C).  How does one go about testing one of these?  I've never dealt with them before.  Sorry I don't have any pictures to post yet, but the radiomuseum file has a few.  I'll post some if I decide to tackle this project.  Thanks guys!  Take care, Gary
