Found a Turquoise Viscount 12 today.

[Eric H]

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.

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:
