I built my own alternate version of the Quazar ZXTT module using a 74LS90 in the bi-quinary configuration to divide by ten a 17.7344MHz oscillator.

This still provides the 1.77344MHz clock to the sound chip to match the ZX Spectrum.

Here's my module (16MHz just for testing):

Nice little hack!  I like that you sawed off a corner of your perf board to make it RC2014 compatible ;-)
