/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hey /ohm/, I'm a bit limited on test equipment right now (not even a multimeter at present!) so i have a back to basics question.

I just want to make a simple LC tank circuit, but I can't make it work!

Ive tried connecting everything in parallel, but I don't think I've actually made it resonate. I should be able to see the voltage sloshing back and forth using two LEDs in parallel with the LC tank... Right?

I have the components in pic related. The caps pictured are 470 uF. I don't actually know what value the inductors are lol. I also have an assortment of resistors and lots of alligator clips, and other basic odds and ends.
