Well TTL IC's normally are fairly robust - compared to MOS types (especially more complex Memory / Processor / custom gate array etc. devices)

Although it does seem that your PSU may have gone a bit over-voltage at some point, so may be lucky if it is mostly TTL IC's that have failed and not too many expensive & rarer larger MOS ones.
