I'm trying to design an ultrasonic class C power oscillator to use with a project I'm working on. I'm vaguely basing it off a circuit I recall seeing in an early 1960s-era book called "Industrial Transistor Circuits". It seems I'm not remembering it correctly, and I don't really know much about the design of this type of oscillator as it's having some problems oscillating in simulation, even doing the "start supply voltages at 0 V" thing.
I'd like to use a small air core, maybe 1.5 inches in diameter by 5 inches in length, something like that.
Here's the .asc:
