Why build a tube audio oscillator? Why not! 😉

I do not know, but the first is injured Zhu Hai city, when he just came out from the box, and then someone shot across

The frequency stability is going to be terrible. remember, the Wien bridge only oscillates when gain is exactly at a certain figure. Commercial audio oscillators were of the heterodyne type until Dave and Bill figured out how to use a light bulb as a stabilizing element. This made them multimillionaires and built an electronic empire that lasted until the Broad Restructuring and the spinoff of Agilent.

So would the receiver off on the right.

Plus, why on earth would anyone build a tube audio oscillator when HP 200s and their clones are widely available, cheap, and superb? Coals to Newcastle and all that.
