Hi and welcome!

First off DO NOT PLUG IN THOSE SETS!

You can cause irreparable and permanent damage or
worse.

The sets need to be fully restored by a knowledgeable antique radio repair person.

Find an antique radio club near you. Many clubs offer or have persons who can help you with restoration.

Both sets are "keepers". The 1936 Model 650X is especially a good set - well worth restoring. Value is priceless, since it's in the family.

Same with the 1941 Model 41-280 console. You can't put a value on them, since they are heirlooms. Those sets have a family history and it's good that you're getting them back to working condition.
