JFET-only Circlotrons without negative feedback

Printed circuit boards for these gerberas were ordered twice and there were no complaints from the manufacturer. I fixed the gerberas and uploaded to the manufacturer's website.
Please note that some of the transistors on this board are Russian-made. The wiring of these transistors does not coincide with the generally accepted among world manufacturers. If necessary, I can fix the board for other transistors.

Yurik, is the pinout for the UJ3N power JFETs intended for bottom mounting? (TO247 package, pin order is G-D-S.)

Also, what is the recommended supply voltage range?

Keep up the good work guys, you have my full interest🙂

Wide question. It works very stably.
Even at low rest currents (50 mA) there is no "stair".

In addition, the small JFET transistors in this switching circuit turned out to be very resistant to breakdown voltage.
Which allows you to increase the supply voltage.

If you look up depletion mosfets on RS Components website you will see Microchip do some high voltage depletion mosfets.
I tried them in my new amp design in the LTP and they worked great.
Just be aware the pin out is mirrored.
