No need for a transformer. Just use an input coupling cap (maybe 1uF) at the audio input. A big capacitor (maybe 100uF) between "tierra flotante" and ground would be a good idea too.
Google translate says it means "floating ground". That makes sense.What is the tierra flotante input? is it the ground of the audio signal?

No, that would put a DC voltage between audio ground and transmitter ground.
It's better to connect those two grounds together, and add two capacitors as mentioned in post 2.
That's a really horrible circuit! It looks like the 741 is being used as a variable capacitor at many times it's bandwidth and the tuned circuit LC ratio is far from optimal. The video input impedance is variable (it's normally fixed at 75 Ohms) and the video level control carries RF and will vary the tuning. It also has no output buffering so the antenna and it's proximity to other objects will change the output frequency.

Yeah it looks much better. Ceramics BPF 6.5MHz it is well arrowed solution for clipping. And don`t forget that TV signal is SSB ( one side band signal with 50% carrier rejection) but yours non SSB. But it works, more or less.I have looked at many schematics about audio/video modulators, including chips and discrete.
The simplest (and at the same time not very unstable) approach I think is something like the attached schematic.
I believe finally, one cannot avoid the audio modulation transformer.
"The whole point of the audio part is to bring an FM modulated carrier of 5.5MHz to the base of the T1.
It shouldn't be that hard to find the rough frequency by winding the primary with a few turns on a FT37-43 toroid or similar"
It should be special coil ( adjustable from MURATA for example special ferrite for max Q ) in shield not a tor.
What I mean is that if there is any specific requirement to use a shielded coil. I am trying to make the circuit easy to build, that is why I think about the toroid. If Q is really a big problem, I could use a T37-xx iron powder core for higher Q. But, does this really matter in such a low frequency, in that application...?It`s up to you. It`s not my business of course.You are designer. Last time when I toy with these staff may be 20 -30 years ago.
