Awning handle snapped off - what kind of replacement part do we need?

Hello, I'm so glad to have found your website! I hope you will be able to help me identify what is needed to repair our awning window. The pictures may not show it clearly but one side of the handle literally snapped off - hard to believe given that it is metal. The only identifying mark we could find on the window was on the handle. There was a super-tiny stamp that said "Shaw". From your helpful videos, I assume we will need to replace the entire cranking mechanism. Can you please advise on what part we need?
Thank you very much!

Thanks for your patience during this busy season. Now, this awning operator looks something like our 39-140, or perhaps our 39-083 or 39-143; it depends on the 'wingspan' of the link arms, so compare all three to your old mechanism to see what matches best. If the gear the crank handle was attached to has worn down or is coming out at all, then yes, the entire operator should be replaced. The video below shows how to replace this operator type. For a new handle and cover, see either our 39-205 and 39-107, or the 39-107FK kit.
