Getting the SUPER SIMPLE OSCILLATOR to oscillate

And yeah, common pinouts: 2N3904 has the emitter to the LEFT if you have the flat side/markings towards you, BC337 and BC548 have it to the RIGHT. The base is in the middle on all three (cut off in the photo):

(actual transistors tested in circuit)

(cannot find my camera charger so you’ll have to do with a mobile snapshot where you cannot really tell what’s what without the annotations, may fix that later :slight_smile: )
