	Yes, I had one of these instruments a while back--it was
in a black plastic case, and had a round knob on the front.  The
round knob adjusted the voltage output, which went via an insulated
wire to a plastic probe-like device with a sharp metal tip.  It
looked like some kind of dental instrument.  I could get maybe
30kV out of it, so I think it does have a small tesla-type coil
inside, or maybe just a step-up xformer like a tv flyback.
Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions.
