If you're handy with electronics, it is fairly simple to build one.
An NE555 timer IC and a half-dozen other components should do it.
You'll need a Winder or motor drive, of course, and the proper plug.
If you're not comfortable with soldering and would be happy with one-
minute shots, you could make an extremely simple "bomb trigger" with
an old wind-up clock from a thrift store with a sweep second hand.
Attach one wire from the plug to the metal case of the clock, and
heat up the end of the other wire and poke it into the plastic lens
of the clock, so that the second hand will brush against it each minute.
