For myself and everybody, I will find a cheap solution, sine amplifier for flyback and cheap frequency counter... Analog power amplifiers already exist. They are even available even as single integrated circuits. For example the EL2009 which is a 35W analog amplifier with 1 output impedance capable of driving inductors directly from DC to 90MHz. See other amplifier datasheets attached below the schematics: A high power digital power amplifier can also be easily constructed.

Notice that a power oscillator is something very different than a power amplifier. The Mazzilli circuit is a power oscillator where the transformer and the load is a part of the oscillator, while a system consisting of an independent oscillator feeding a power amplifier, drives the load independently of its properties, regardless whether the load "wants" to oscillate that way or not. In other words the former method is a conforming resonant oscillation and the latter method is a forced oscillation of the load. Yes, you could use a cheap LPC1313 with 12 MOSFETS, 12relays and a ladder of 12 binary weighed capacitors to make a Mazzill oscillator that is frequency stable down to the 1 LSB precision if you trim the caps precisely, but that would not be easy - especially the trimmed HV caps and the relays. Not to mention the quantization errors and the switching transients associated with the clickety-clack array of relays. Maybe a better approach would be a large variable capacitor made with some PWM method or variable inductor made with a saturable reactor?
