I am thinking of creating a ternary computer from scratch, mostly as a hobby project, are there any parts out there that I could use? Or would I have to create them from scratch? If so, what would be a good method?

I was thinking of a balanced Ternary system, much like Nikolay Brusentsov's Setun. I am familiar with VHDL and I am quite familiar with Binary logic. I was hoping to avoid using digital components, such as FPGAs and make a purely ternary computer, so I was thinking more of what to use a logic units, in lieu of transistors.
