He's probably right about the Admiral and Motorola being 50s, but the Magnavox's styling looks more 60s to me. I like the RCA on legs, don't know anything about it but I'd guess it's from the 60s as well. Is he probably right on them being B&W?
Sixties (post-'64) would be my best estimate as well on the vintage of the Magnavox portable. If it were from the '50s, it probably wouldn't have the small UHF channel tuner window between channels 2 and 13 (Sears Silvertone portables of the '60s had this too; my family had a 17" Sears set, '64-'65 vintage IIRC, in a black cabinet, with an orange UHF dial in between 2 and 13).
