It's fairly easy (:-) to generate quasi-sort-of-sine-looking-things at
more-or-less 60-80VAC 20HZ by taking a filament transformer (remember them?)
and running it backwards, resonating the primary with a large NONpolarized
capaicitor, and using robust transistors (2n3055 or power FETs) in a multivibrator
configuration.  Using feedback from the resonant load eliminates needing to tune
a separate oscillator.

I'd recommend a 300 mA 12VCT filament transformer driven off 5 volts.  Use
an L/C/R bridge and 1/2pi sqrt(L * C) to determine the C value (don't be surprised
if it's several hundred microfarads or larger!), or just play around with a scope.

This can generate a LARGE jolt on its output, and remarkably large reflected voltages
on the driver transistors.  Be careful & have fun!
