UnknownWood Frame WIndow Crank Handles

Home Owner from Palo Alto, CA
Have no idea who the maker of these wood frame windows and crank handles is.

Handles gears no longer feel like they engage on any of the 4 units I have.

Set screws work fine.
easily removable and insertable.
But it feels like armature on the inside is no longer making contact.
handles just spin.

Teeth on the spindles do not appear worn.

Even if I manage to identify the part, not sure how to remove and replace the unit
Cant see any mounting screws.

And ideas?

Thanks!

Thank you for posting on our discussion board, Michael. it sounds like your gears are stripped out. You will need a new operator. We will need to see photos of the operator removed from the window. You can remove the operator from the window by unscrewing the screws by opening the window. They should be accessible from the outside.
