Me?

Go do it yourself Jim.

I like the way it works with a very high turns ratio, very small AC
drive at the emitter. But at lower ratios, it gets very nonlinear and
becomes, if that means anything, a tuned blocking oscillator. The base
capacitor value would be lowered so that the cap recharges a bunch
during a oscillatory cycle.

I'm sure JT and JF will spend the next week diligently searching for a
set of values that will make my circuit not work. Then they'll crow,
or rather, cluck about it. That's OK: as Woody Allen says, we need the
eggs.
