replacement awning operator for a big awning window installed in 1963

Question

Hello,

I have windows 44 inches wide and 31 inches tall. It swings open 14.5 inches on the present system. the track is about 3 feet wide, and the window is at 34 inches when closed. the arms are 16 inches each, and clip onto the track.

obviously, I may have to buy a new track if you don't have a similar shoe that clips onto a raised bar track.

What can you recommend that will approximate this?

I'm afraid that your original operator is no longer available. That said, take a look at the 38-389 awning operator kit. This could be a good replacement for your window. I can't guarantee it will work, but it may be the best modern option available. Your best bet would be to install the clips to the window first, and then attach the closer arm. You need to make sure you mount the base in such a way that the window closest properly. This may require you to adapt the sill.
