Default looking for sources for tuners and parts

I have been looking for some parts of late, and exhausted the usual suspects. I have checked at StewMac, LMII, and Elderly and not found what I want. Where else to look? More specifically, I am looking for a good U.S source for the Antique Acoustics tuners. Elderly carries one type, but I suspect they make more than the one style. Also, it seems no one carries the straight ( no belly) bridges anymore. They all have 'Pyramid' type bridges now. Is there a good one stop source for legit guitar/luthier parts that carries a wide selection?
What I have been looking for are some vintage style tuners with cream color plastic buttons. I like the stay-tites, and Gotoh open back tuners, as well as the waverlies, but they all have metal buttons ( or ebony). The Klusons are ok, but I was hoping to find something of a better quality...

You can put different buttons on the Grovers...

These might not be exactly what you're looking for, but they might work. The buttons are white, not cream, but they do have a classic look
