I've seen those before on ebay. Contrary to what the cabinet says, not a TC,
but a 100kv DC, ~2mA supply. The knob on front adjusts voltage/current. Made
for HVDC experiments (electrostatics with a bit more kick mostly, 2mA VDG's
are huge) and to make sellers of them on ebay money. I once asked what was
inside (courious) one and he said it was a oil-filled-spark-coil-looking
thing with driver circuitry, but didn't know (or wasn't telling) much else.
