I went up the C2 capacitor changing values and made this movie :o))

It goes from about 100 pF to 250pF.  I hope it works ok for others.

The output RMS voltage stays the same but the C2 RMS voltage increases with 
increasing capacitance.  One can see when it hits the 2,3,4 point.  A set 
the coil so it looks like this with 145pF.
