Looking for a replacement for this window crank opener for a skylight, as the interior gearing is stripped. Maybe Andersen, but not sure, and doesn't match anything I'm seeing online.

You've stumped me on this one. This is very unusual, especially with that spring attachment. Check to see if you can find any name on the operator, glass or the window itself to determine the manufacturer. That may be our only hope!

I'm in need of the exact same part.
The drive gears are shot.
The skylights we have are driven by a small electric motor.

I'm sorry to say that this part isn't something our company can supply at this time. The design is just too unique, and falls too far outside of the typical selection of hardware we have access to. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.
