First one is a Hallicrafters SX25.

Second one is a R1475 (I think) companion reciever with the T1509.... Looks to be quite unloved though.....

Had a Hallicrafters SX25 myself, but not that stable on the higher bands.

Second one is definitely a multi-band receiver; I'm sure I had one of these or a similar model in the past. One of the knobs at the end should select the band and move an indicator arrow under the wheel dials to indicate what band you are on.

Mike.
