NOt pin-compatible but functional compatible and available is the 74C00 or74 HC00, which has a long life I am using one in my gate alarm since1989, it is on all the time and the chip is available the HEF4011 is also available -- at Mouser -- it is pin-compatible and function with CD4011 ad it is made by Philips [NXP]

I have a new-to-me HP-59309A HP-IB Digital Clock. The clock works on both the internal crystal oscillator and on an external 10 MHz standard (GPSDO). However, it counts only to 60 seconds and then repeats without updating the minutes digit. The TIME SET (FAST and SLOW) push-buttons work but again, the count will not update minutes and hours, only seconds. The DAY SET procedure works correctly for days and months. All the other switches and buttons do what they are supposed to do. Using my 10526T logic pulser I can force the minutes and hours counters to work. The power supply is in good condition (after replacement of a few components) and I see no other problems (yet).

Tracing the clock signal through the logic circuitry brought me to U3 on the A4 board. This (U3) is a 4011 quad 2-input NAND gate in a 14-pin DIP package. It "connects" the seconds counter to the minutes counter and appears to have failed. One of the people on the email list <hp_agilent_equipm...@yahoogroups.com> commented that the 4000 series CMOS chips have a known limited lifetime. Since these parts are no longer in production, the writer expressed the concern that any parts I might find to buy may be DOA.

Before I go hunting for parts, I'd appreciate hearing from anyone in the group who has experience with the 59309A Clock and/or the 4000-series CMOS family. In particular, are there modern equivalents to my 4011 chip? If the 4000's really do have a limited lifetime I'd rather use a substitute.
