@ crowclaw

I am not trying to gang up on you, but kooler has it correct. The purpose is to deliver more current to the capacitors so that they charge up quicker.

OK Guys,

I'm not in dispute with what you are doing, and yes you will charge the caps up quicker, you could have quad JT's and charge quicker still. All I have said is that to get maximum effecientcy for anyone wishing to replicate the circuit try and build your circuits identical as you have done.

I realise you have two independant outputs from two seperate JT's but they still share common connections at their output points. Regards

Someone posted this link in another topic.  It looks like a nice bench top scope for about $280.00 US.

it has been running for hours now ....  i have been monitoring the hz

it has wobbled up to 525 hz...  and continues to clime up

IT APEARS TO WOBBLE WITH GAIN ...  WITH TUNEING ALONE ...

NO CAPTURE CAP EMPLOYED AS OF YET ...  WHEN I DO IT RUNS

WITH GAIN TO SELF DESTRUCTION ... AKA RUNAWAY ...

PEACE
