Aha! I just noted from Paul's post that "my" oscillator is called a
two-transistor Butler. Wonder when that was conceived? I've been
using the my direct-coupled version for 40 years.

Interesting. This is the type I've decided to build as the basis for
my next sweep generator attempt, since it's claimed the config is more
amenable to being pulled than most others (although I won't be
attempting to pull it anything like as much as my first abortive
attempt using a Cmos-based inverter). Do you find it's a reliable and
stable design, Jim? I assume if it wasn't you wouldn't still be using
it!
