If nothing else, we here on C&V are good at beating dead horses [arguably more fun than riding dying ones].

If it's badged "Viscount" it's from the Yamaha era. Pre-Yamaha, they were badged "Lambert."

Here is a Viscount article from March 1976 Bicycing! magazine. You should be able to ID the model of your bike based on the descriptions.

My Aerospace Pro came with Lambert brake levers, Viscount hubs, bar and stem, and brake calipers, and Shimano derailleurs and shifters. I picked it up from the original owner and he stated that all the components were original to the bike.
