I'm bored (DIY oscillator)

[saturated]

Btw sitting here doing some thinking

The circuit that worked utilized capacitors 100x smaller than what I tried 

And the resistors that I tried were orders of magnitude larger 

So going back to the original generic schematic that I could not get to work....it used the polarized capacitor symbol so hence I used electrolytic capacitors in my trial runs. 

Also referring back to the schematic for the tube generator and I presume MFD means microfarads but idk

You cannot view this attachment.

But it could be that there's no reason to compare the two (SS vs tube) because they are completely different animals

At any rate I may try using the smaller capacitors and resistors and see if it works
