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.
