You can just modify a 27SF512 chip w/ a piece of wire soldered to some of the pins, and mod the stock 7747 chip holder.
Main issue I had w/ buying sockets/adapters and soldering them to stock 7747, is when my 7747 crapped out.
Didn't feel like desoldering/resoldering...just modded a chip & holder, so the socket/adapter really is not needed.
The moates burn device works well I've had a Burn1 for years and years.
You can buy a $5 USB ttl converter from many sources for ALDL use, just need 2 wires connected (for 7747) and a USB cable.
You can do the same with a 7427 pcm memcal, just desolder the stock chip and solder in a 27SF512 chip.
Then just need a header ($10 moates) to use the burn2 and the stock memcal.
I also have an Ostrich2 from moates, it holds 8 tunes, and works very well.
Far as gathering parts, many many options, post in wanted section? Most yards will pull/ship stuff for a little more than DIY u-pull-it prices. eBay.
Someone that actually read the FAQs on Binderplanet!!!
The only thing you "need" is a way to burn the chips and the chips.
You can use the factory EPROM 2732a chips and just burn them with something like the GQ-4x on ebay. you can also buy or build an eraser with a germicidal bulb if you want to reuse the 2732s.
Or
buy a couple EEPROM 27sf512 chips and a Moates Burn 2 or the GQ-4x and it allows you to erase with the push of a key. But now your no longer a factory set up.
It's all listed in the "start Here" thread in the injection forum on binderplanet.
along with the parts required, wiring and everything else.
