Reloj - 7400 Series Digital Clock

This project was inspired by my dad's university digital systems project from the late 1970's. I found the writeup and schematic and decided to try and re-create it. You can see the results of the breadboard reproduction and explanations in this twitter thread.

After a while, I figured it would be fun to make a soldering kit out of it, which resulted in this.

Reloj v1.2

The design is fairly close to the original, but with the addition of a crystal-backed alternate clock source. The 555 timer clock source works, but drifts like crazy, so if you want to use it as an actual clock, you still can with the alt source.
