Take it back and leave it there.

If it is actually functional, it has got to be the last one.

The chain rings are made by SPECIALITES T.A.
they still make them.

They didn't get much market share - I seem to recall there were some fork failures. Catastrophic failures, if I recall correctly. Otherwise, they were certainly trying to go in the right direction. A little ahead of the curve. They also (again, if memory serves) had some weird non-standard threading, which made parts difficult.

Actually, the OP's link to Sheldon's page tells the Viscount story in detail. Better than my memory.
