the other looks like a Selmer but without seeing the top panel it’s hard to say which one. Some vintage dealers ask big money for the Selmer combos but they sit around for sale for ever (ie they are overpriced - nobody will pay it). They can sound ok, though for recording - assuming the filter caps are in fine fettle.
It it depends on how cheap they are really and they’d need to be cheap.
The second amplifier is going to be tricky to identify without images of its control panel or whatever legend appears on the rear panel.
Second looks like a Selmer Selectortone/Diplomat/Constellation, etc - you can tell from the residual piping on the front. As @impmann has said, you need to see the top panel.
As has already been said, some sellers - particularly the likes of Soundgas - ask crazy money for stuff like this (but they’ll be in minty condition, fully serviced and working - though they’re not worth the £££ even then, IMHO).

The only thing I'd go for would be the 50 Top, but it would need to be £cheap.

Actually, that's not entirely true - I'd also go for the Korg Delta and the Roland CompuRhythm...

I've got an alnico Audiom in a huge old 'hi-fi' speaker in my workshop, which I play my background music through. It sounds wonderful and is incredibly sensitive - I run it from just the headphone jack of the computer (50mW max I think), and it has enough volume and bottom-end to easily fill the room.

'Collectable' stuff doesn't have to be tested as long as it is sold as As Found or not working, as far as I understand it. I think that means the mains plug has to be removed, but I'm not certain.
However I would never plug in anything I bought in a sale like that without having it safety tested first, regardless of how it was sold.
