Pete - if you're still there.  Does this post now read 1032 on your computer?

   Yep, well  your question was post 1033.

Now.  As he shows that circuit - THAT IS INDEED HOW WE CONFIGURED IT -  BUT ONLY FOR THE TEST DEMONSTRATION - Poynty's inclusion of the Q2's excepted.  THAT IS ALSO HOW WE DEMONSTRATED IT.  But it is NOT how we have configured it in all other tests.  Correctly and properly the ground of the functions generator is attached DIRECTLY to the Gate at Q2 - MARK D on the video.  And correctly - the shunt or CSR - is DIRECTLY IN SERIES WITH THE NEGATIVE RAIL OF THE BATTERY SUPPLY SOURCE.

You changed the configuration, ok. Why was it so difficult to get you to simply admit that long ago, and why have you changed it?

If that is what you have indeed done, then I will not question it, but I would like to see a new updated photo of both the top and bottom of the board. At the very least, could you please indicate on the drawing I made (which shows the CSR in series with the battery) where the probe is on the CSR, and which end has the probe tip and which end the probe ground? If you prefer just to tell us, that's fine too.

btw, is the Source of Q1 now connected directly to ground as the diagram shows?

Thanks,

I hope this takes.  I saw your final answer there Pete.  It's not in sync with my own numberings.  I still have a post missing probably that very one.  I've got to get out here because I think they're back into this computer.  I can't find the 'reply' 'quote' buttons except on those earlier posts.

I WISH I could be cured of all these delusions.

LOL.  I'll get back here tomorrow.  If I've been 'expelled' then find me on my blog.  Cheers guys

With the changes then, this diagram is representative of how the circuit is now connected?

If so, could you please let us know the probe positions for the battery and CSR?

Thanks,

Oh, and thanks for finally admitting that my circuit diagrams were indeed correct all along.

ETA: I might also add that it is nice to see that your team is following our advice regarding the FG and CSR placements. Keep up the good work. I trust we'll be seeing some rendition of the self-starter (i.e. no FG) version I posted some time soon as well. That's a relatively easy transition once you have the oscillation.
