It sounds like the first step is to try and diagnose the 2N554 germanium transistor flip-flop modules, as they appear to be behaving erratically. If you have experience with this sort of hardware ...

It had 777 transistors on 41 perfboards ... This is then fed into a divider higher up the stack which uses flip flops to produce 1Hz and 2Hz signals for use throughout the rest of the clock.

Moreover, the Low-Power Redundant-Transition-Free TSPC Dual-Edge-Triggering Flip-Flop introduces a single-transistor-clocked buffer that eliminates unnecessary clock transitions, resulting in a 14 ...

Fairchild’s flip flop, for example ... Fairchild uses npn transistors in DCTL configuration [for 1963’s CMOS chips by Fairchild, click here]. Made by diffusing the transistors and resistors ...

In 1958, the first integrated circuit flip-flop was built using two transistors at Texas Instruments. The chips of today contain more than 1 billion transistors. The memory that could once support an ...

Static RAM is fast because the six-transistor configuration of its pretzel-like flip-flop circuits keeps current flowing in one direction or the other (0 or 1). The 0 or 1 state can be written and ...
