Looking for Potentiometers

Hi!

I am living in Europe and having hard time finding this kind of potentiometers. They have unusually long threaded bush + shaft (26 - 27 mm together), and 6.0 or 6.4 mm knurled shaft with split (see attached pic).

Looking for the following:
500k 2-gang log - 1 (for volume control, 250 - 500k will be OK)
500k 2-gang linear - 1 (for balance, 250 - 500k will be OK)
500k 1-gang linear - 4 (timbre control, 470, 560, 680k will be OK)

I have looked for them at Farnell, Elfa, eBay, no luck. Shaft+bush either too short, or shaft too large (8 mm diameter instead of 6/6.4)

I may try to drill larger holes in knobs in order to use pots with half-round shaft, but that's really bad option, knobs are aluminum with strange very firm but fragile plastic inside.

If someone have such in radio parts collection, I would be glad to buy them for reasonable price.

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
