Requesting help locating a datasheet.

I recently purchased an Arduino to start playing with micro-controllers and have since been looking for deals on electronic parts.

The other day I got on old electronic dartboard for $0.50 that was loaded with 8 7 segment displays, leds, and switches. It also has 6 IC's marked as KLN74ALS373. I am guessing they are a shift register for the displays but can not find a datasheet to save my life. Thought someone here may have an idea or could point me in the right direction. Sadly, Google has let me down.

Any advice, pointers, or experience with these IC's would be greatly appreciated, Thank you so much for your time!

I googled 74ALS373

http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/philips/74ALS373N.pdf

Take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7400_series

The KLN marking at the beginning is just the chip manufacturer id. The important part is the "74ALS373".

Its an octal latch with tristate outputs.. Motorolla do one https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2012/11/sn74ls373rev5.pdf

Thank you so much, hate when I fail at google. Lol.

Now I just have to figure out what to use them for, I'm still a bit of a noob at electronics.
