I keep an eye on allelectronics, they have deals from time to time. I doubt these are near the performance of the daytons, but still may be usable. I have had good luck so far wth cheap motors from these folks. http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category/400400/DC_Gear_Motors.html

Grainger.com - it's a Dayton motor, just don't recall the exact model. I have a Dayton 120v motor - strong as an ox and quiet to boot.

Hi, I should have said what it was for but it is for a witches head so it can turn side to side. I do not know how much the motor should have but I hate to buy a motor that does not have enough power to turn the head.
Thanks Scott
Even an oscillating fan has the power to turn a head, but they're unreliable due to overheating in an enclosed head situation unless you turn the unit upside down and use the pedestal as the head mount. You might also consider the small motors used for Xmas animated deer, or the lasy susan motors out of dead microwave ovens (use caution here, there is a capacitor inside microwave ovens that stores quite a jolt of power even after being unplugged).
