Miami Window Corporation operating crank left and right side of window

Quick Learner
My crank is a little different from the 1960 picture you have on your site. Instead of the crank attached to the side and upper portion mine has an axel (lack of a better word) exiting horizontally from the bottom to the edge of the window sill then a handle tightens on the axel with two allen screws and forms an "L" over the sill and has a small knob at the end to hold.

I need to replace several and a little work on a couple of the moving parts on the frame.

Can you help? Sometimes I am a quick learner and handy person but I am a home owner and commercial real estate agent. There were Miami Windows intalled near me but the last time I found somebody replacing them I was not notified when to come for parts.

Hi, thanks for coming to us. Your instinct is correct: it's best if you can send us a picture. That will help us identify your part quickly. Can you also send us some measurements of your old part?

Ah, I know this one. This hasn't been made for a long, long time. You probably won't be able to find an exact match. Take a look at our 39-054 operator, instead. I have used this one in the past to repair Miami brand windows. See what you think.

Thanks Dave, by your "Ah" I seem to have thrown a pleasurable memory your way. That's the one you recommended (r/l) earlier & glad I provided further measurements for confirmation.
