The current version has the second harmonic 103dB below the fundamental, 
the third harmonic 80dB down. I had to run it over-nigh to get a couple 
of seconds of operation - the second second looked good.

A couple of millivolts of second harmonic makes it through to the FET 
gate from the full-wave rectifier. If I can lag it by another 156usec it 
may reduce the harmonic content, rather than increasing it.
So far the revised circuit has only clocked up 4msec of operation. Maybe 
I'll have more tomorrow.

I haven't bothered counting the components. Some of them could be 
ditched when the design gets closer to a definitive version. The three 
transistors get around a potential output swing limitation which 
probably won't be a problem.
