I think a toaster element, unwound and flattened out, would be a good CV source
using a sliding pipe with a wire to it as a potetiometer wiper in effect.
Probably put 6 v from a big latern battery across a couple of feet of element.

Has anyone made a hand spun LFO?
By putting magnets in a wheel and using a hall effect pickup you could get a 
nice effect, possibly.
