A dial comes from an old phone, check a thrift.
The NE-2s are still very available from most
decent electronic
parts suppliers.
Both are figments of your imgination - none around - thrift stores
or decent electronic parts suppliers .
But I did download the PDF so some day in the far future...

Well I can find them, but at $30+ for a mail order to any places
that will take a Canadian Money Order I tend not order $2 parts.
Right now I am saving for a real computer design that I expect
will cost me about $750 for the PCB's and $500 for the parts.
And who knows what (using windows) to get schematic & pcb capture
software will cost ~ 30 TTL (16 pin) chips per PCB - 500 pins
8 x 10 board?

PS. It is very hard to $ from Canada to
Australa as
where all the low cost <$500 PCB programs are.
