That's what the circuit I posted above does, but the original poster appears to lack confidence in it, because it doesn't work with a simulation program.
There are lots of circuits like that which won't work in simulation very well. What's worse is there are circuits which will work in a simulator, but not in real life. Here's an example of a circuit which is supposed to both generate an inverting and non-inverting output, with a gain of 10. A simulator will show it works, but it doesn't in real life,
Kleinstein:
The 74HC4060 could be suitable. A simple RC oscillator that could be adjusted with a pot, and quite a few divider stages to select for the lower frequency. because it's a ripple counter the outputs are near perfect 50% PWM.
The stability is not great, but could be a little better than HC14 type. As the analog range would be only about 1:4 the adjustment could be relatively fine. Overall range could be something like 1 MHz .... 1 Hz or a little larger.

No wait. I've just asked to learning purposes. What I've asked is why is not working and I can't simulate it, to understand what's happening. But I had interesting answers to make me understand better.

If you want to learn something useful, download the LTspice and you will get a tool which works..

Does the astable with the 74HC74 work though?

Oh did you try building it and it didn't work? If the 74HC74 didn't work, try the CD4013, I've build it with that IC and it worked perfectly. I didn't try the 74HC74, although it should work with that too.
The link you posted to the simulation doesn't work. Try [url]link[/url]
