Default Bling and Retro knobs

I'm looking for a source of some really bling or retro knobs one of the knobs needs to be preferably larger than 50mm dia. This souce is the closest i have found so far
http://www.thlaudio.com/image.htm

I would prefer a uk based source but if shipping costs are reasonable then international is ok.

It quite hard to find these places on google so if you have any sources let me know.

Thanks

Jon

Once I saw the complete opposite. A plastic sunflower pushed onto the potentiometer shaft.
Approach a woodworking club with some designs. scavenge the brass sleeve and grub screw from some ugly knobs.

If you want huge stainless steel knobs visit a gas barbecue shop. These are only made for D shafts, not spline shafts.
