  We have developed , built and tested two novel electron guns for the Tevatron and RHIC electron lenses: the first, a gridded gun which generates electron beam profile with smoothed edges and broad flat-top; the second, Gaussian beam profile gun which can be used for generation of the profile with depressed emission in the center. We have also developed a new type of HV modulator for use in TELs. In this articel, we desicribe the guns and the modulator, and present results of the bench tests.
