Found a Turquoise Viscount 12 today.
 

Does anyone know what year this was made?

It's really clean inside and out, has the box and the earphone but no packing or paperwork, haven't tried a battery in it yet.

I had a Red Viscount 14? when I was a kid, it didn't last long before a lead broke off one of the Transistors.

Back then we thought the number of Transistors was like the Horsepower or Cubic Inches of a Car, the more the better. :D

Don't know for sure, but I'd say mid-sixties from the look of it. Turquoise is one of those colors you just don't see on radios anymore :-)

You may have seen it already, but here's a link to an interesting article. Apparently Viscount and many other brands were made by a U.S.-based company called Trans-Aire, using surplus parts from G.E., Raytheon, and others:
