We may be able to replace these old cranks, but I'll need a bit more information. I'd like you to remove one of these from the window entirely and show me a clear picture of the link arm. I would also like one clear shot of the hole pattern.

Thank you, these are just what we needed to see. That link arm is an issue, though. I haven't been able to find anything exactly like that.

You see, there are two key details that we look for. The first is the hole pattern. Yours seems to be a fairly typical two holes on top, two parallel holes on bottom. We have a ton of those, so nothing weird there.

The second detail is the style of the link arm. Yours is mounted under the gear arm, and is offset down. We don't have anything like that.

Now, the link arm for this kind of operator generally has some wiggle room in regards to what will work and what won't. You can get away with a lot. I've made a list of possible replacement operators on this page for you to look over. I cannot guarantee any will work for you, but you may be able to adapt one to function. Look them over and let me know what you think.
