See if you can find a rotisserie motor from a BBQ grill at a local garage sale. It can be mounted pretty easily on a board, and fixed up with a styrofoam disc to hold your flies. Best Regards......

Just do what I did, make your own turner out of the motor in an old microwave...
Yep the BBQ Rotisserie work perfectly.....I use one, have it mounted on a 1"x4"x14" board and is mounted to my left of the tying Desk, not the station.
Turns nice and slow.Great for drying epoxy flies. I've never heard of using the microwave motor...thats interesting

You might try here for a motor http://www.surpluscenter.com/electric.asp
I have used them numerous times with great results.
It is a little difficult to get around their site, but you should find some for $5 or less
