You are stuck with using an original 7474 family assuming this is
driving other early TTL. 74LS74, and others simply don't have the drive
capability to work. You can use 74S74 or 74F74 as they have the same
output current, the "S" is Schottky, and the other is "F"aster.
I find that https:///unicornelectronics.com is a reliable source of TTL.
