> G Forrest Cook had(has) an entire website devoted to the BA1404. I was an early enthusiast, hearing about the BA1404 from Don Lancaster's Hardware Hacker column in Radio Electronics/Electronics Now magazine in the late 80s.
> June, 1992 edition of Radio Electronics has the "ultimate" BA1404 circuit in Lancaster's column, on page 72 - it's almost verbatim, the Pioneer CD-FM-1 CD-to-FM modulator.

Really miss internet 1.0. It wasn't as flashy but the information it had was way better. Always wanted to build a pirate FM transmitter, but I think we're well past the time of relevanance.

Got curious and started looking. For AAA-type clips you can source them though AliE for ~10cents a clip, already formed and ready to solder up, in a few different configurations. It's def'n one of those things that's easy to steal out of devices you're tossing for whatever reason.
