Yes, it has a pair of original Leyden jars using metal chains as conductors. I wish i can take a photo of it but I boxed it up in my storage locker along side mountain of junks. I purchased it from an antique shop in Convent Garden,London paying £250 back in 1990. The machine was made in the UK. It can produce up to about 5 inches of spark under dry weather condition.

I also have a working motorised, Van der Graaf generator made by Griffins in the UK. It can produce about 4 foot of spark. I dont understand why I liked high voltage and electrostatic so much, maybe i got the excitement from the sparks. I was fascinated by lightning in my childhood as I witnessed some bad ass lightning storms.
