Hello, and welcome!
Yes, the 42-1010 is a "Beam of Light" Phonograph. When right, they are very good record players for 1942. The radio is a 10 tube model and should sound pretty good once restored. The wiring on this set is mostly of the rubber-insulation variety, which is usually brittle and can be a major P.I.T.A. to repair/replace. Also, these sets are fairly tight under the chassis. Cabinet may clean up enough to be left original.
150.00 for it is a medium-high price for it, bottom line is if it is worth it to you. The BOL is an added plus.
The second set is a 1929 model, the number of tubes will tell what model it is.. Also should have a label somewhere on the chassis that denotes the model. These sets are an older type of radio called a "TRF." But with a decent antenna they perform fairly well. Also, they were made before thee was a standard color code for the resistors and othe components, so you have to pay close attention to the location of the component in the circuitry as compared to the schematic in order to determine it's value. It is in nice shape, depending on the condition of the chassis 145.00 is not too bad....
