That's the only chip so far that I haven't been able to get cheaply. On 
the other hand, so far I didn't have one fail on me.

As far as I know, that one is still in production and at least I was 
able to get my handy on 5 of them for less than 10 Euros incl. shipping. 
Didn't have a dead LS629 yet either, so it's just to be sure.

Also, the 74LS629 ist, according to the datasheet, similiar to the 
74LS124 (maybe only different pinout?). Might be possible to get that 
working in a C64.

The 8701 was MOS/CSG only. Sometimes you can find them cheaply on ebay.

It should be easy to come up with a circuit that does the same thing, 
take the crystal clock and divide by 2.25 (for PAL). The 8701 does that 
by doubling and then dividing by 4.5 (PAL).
