NO!  NO!  NO!  The S124 is worthless junk!  I speak from experience.

If you must use a 7400-series part, look for (I think) 74S624.  That's a
version that's been fixed to work.  I don't swear to the part number, as
my references are at home and it's been a while.

The part you want for fairly high-frequency VCOs, actually, is the MC4024.
Beware, this is not a CMOS part, it is a TTL part with an odd number; the
Motorola part number for the CMOS part that others would call "4024" is
MC14024.  You can often find the MC4024 in the "odds and ends" sections
of catalogs.
