Occurs to me that if you picked up a secondhand computer, or just the pSU, you'd have a regulated 5vdc or 12vdc power supply which you could use together with a modified audio amplifier [or the dc voltage step up circuit from an inkjet printer] to step up the voltage and act as a cheap lab supply for this. You could probably get all the parts you'd need on freecycle.
