I'll never look at an oscillator circuit the same again.

Thanks

Now here is a post that takes be back a bunch of decades.

I built my first oscillator using tubes in tech school. I did not get my hands on any transistors until I started working in the real world.

Well done.

Hi Jon,

I like your writing style as it always keeps me fascinated right up to the last word of your posts. I enjoy that you focus on these simpler circuits that I can mock up on my own bench and take a look at. Your analysis is always above my knowledge level so it is never a review for me but an actual learning process. In my opinion post like these are a core element of what this forum is about.

John

Nice article. Fun with transistors! I too would see many articles in magazines and 'electronic cookbooks' with similar circuits. Funny, but today I rarely ever look at transistors (the workhorses of yesteryear), but build almost everything out of microprocessors (even cute little LED flashers). Maybe I need to do a little more 'retro' thinking in my designs.

Thanks for the flash from the past with the modern addition of the simulation.
