If you just want something that's more than an NST but
less than a pig, 120 volts input, small enough to
carry/roll around easily, consider a PT:

There's one on eBay right now for $25, but it's 7,200
volts. You prolly want 14,400. They can be found for
$100 or less. I just got two 25 kV PT's for free!

And if you're thinking a PT ain't got what it takes,
based on a post several years ago, I believe this was
fed by a PT:

If you just want to build a mini-pig then go for it.
But if you want portability, I doubt you'll be able to
get something as powerful, small, light as a PT.
