It's been a long time (pre-internet) since I repaired an ancient waffle
iron so I don't remember where I got my HT wire & crimp connectors.
My local hardware store carried (carries?) them as well but at 50c each
I went to a commercial source. I still have enough connectors to
repair stuff for kid's kids. :)

You can get a piezo unit that need no battery, they're sold every
where.
