I am looking for knobs for a diy project. I like the "clear glossy
HD style" knobs by Kilo International. Pics of the project and Kilo
knobs here:

I made 2 mistakes while building this project.
1.) I put the knobs too close together. They are on 3/4 inch
centers, which leaves little room for knob width.
2.) I used knurled instead of smooth pot shafts. What can I say, I
had a couple hundred 100K pots lying around for years, I wanted to
use them!
Unfortunately the Kilo knobs are only available in smooth shaft.
Does anyone know where to get this style of knob for a knurled
shaft? I'd also like to ask people for ideas on what knobs they
think would look cool on this project. I prefer "High end" (read:
"not plastic") knobs that match or complement the color scheme. It's
hard to see in the pictures but the panels are coated with a thick
reflective plastic called "Mona Lisa Clear Clear Kote" that gives
them a glass-like finish. That's why I initially chose the mirror-
finish Kilo knobs.
