Anyone know where I can find knobs for a pot like this? I believe this is 'flatted' correct?

Flatted! What a shocking word  :lol:, even if it does fit.

You could try Michael Percy:

The "flatted" shaft is also used by Elma and a few other notables so there should be quite a few knob options.

Radio Shack has knobs to fit that. May not be the best looking, but...

If your selector switch has a 1/4" diameter shaft, Radio Shack is one place or if you can't find anything, Frank may be able to suit you up with his 1 1/4" diameter selector switch knob. It's black anodized aluminum. Also some Ace hardware stores have an assortment, but pretty old fashioned looking.

regarding "thingamaknobs",,nice work, I make knobs using manzanita, a deep red wood with some interesting patterns, had one that had the image of the all seeing eye, I kid you not,

but seriously, and I quote from the site, "Many customers have reported sonic improvements from switching to Thingamaknobs."

you are joking, right?

How about the $485 Silver Rock Signature Knob from Reference Audio Mods?
 

 
" The beech wood is coated several times with C37 lacquer for best sound as pointed out by Dieter Ennemoser. How can this make a difference??? Well, hearing is believing as we always say. The sound becomes much more open and free flowing with a nice improvement in resolution. Dynamics are better and overall naturalness is improved. "
 
I guess the C37 lacquer takes it up a notch.

Crazy!!!

That's what it is IMO.  The amazing part is that people purchase it and believe that it works.  Whatever make 'em happy.

You already got many links, but I just wanted to point out that's a switch, not a pot. :green:
