Several years ago I built one that used a dual 1024 bit chip that would also do flanging(sp), I was using simular hardware at work (unscrambling Divers helum speach - they sound like Donald Duck). The board layout was in some magazine and we did a quick pcb and built it.
The main problem was it was VERY noisy and needed much better output filtering than was in the original circuit. I also seem to recall that the clock section was critical.
If I was doing one today I would look into a DSP chip due to its flexibility.

2nd part:
A web site that has a "phase shifter" is paia:

go about 1/2 way down and look for CA-21. If you used that circuit and modified the clock to a fixed frequency you would get a "delay" effect.
The book might be a good starting point also. I think by the time you control the noise you are into lo-fi sound.

Thanks for the tips!
The sound of a BBD can be supprisingly good for a short delay, and the distortion characteristics of this approach are considered desirable as a musical effect, which is what I'm going for. Check out the audio samples of the Modcan Super Delay 30A synthesizer module: http://www.modcan.com/MODHTML/delay.html
It uses two Matsushita MN3005 chips with compander NR and two 6 pole butterworth filters.
