Thanks so much for reaching out to us. I am very familiar with this operator and can verify that this hasn't been made in a long time. We do sell a modern Andersen operator style for a similar kind of window; see our 39-389 and 39-390. However installing these successfully on your old application is going to take a fair bit of handiwork. I would strongly advise that you hire a local professional to do the install for you.

To be perfectly honest, neither one is recommended for this application, technically. It's important to understand that neither operator is meant to work in your window, period. However I have known some professionals who were able to adapt one or the other with a lot of work on their end.

This is not going to be an easy project, and even if you do manage to get one or the other to fit, it's still not guaranteed to work. Your window is very old and no parts are made for it. What you're looking at here is an uncertain adaptation, and that uncertain adaptation is your only hope. As I mentioned previously, you need a professional to do this for you.

These operators are not available in any alternate color.
