I posted these last week. the cranks have been breaking and are glued back together by a local handyman, but we want to replace them, 5 to start. I think I see the replacement on your site, please give me the part and ordering procedure.

Thanks for posting! I remember answering this a few days ago, yes, but I'm being told the old post had the wrong email address. I'm afraid your operator is damaged and cannot be repaired; that worm gear I see attached to the handle is not meant to come out. You will need an entirely new operator. We can help, but we need to see a picture of the operator out of the window.

We began this conversation a few months ago but I was unable to extract the crank from the jalousie mechanism, which I did this weekend.

I need 4 to start, and will replace all 12 if this first batch works out.

I enclose three photos and a tape measure to help with size.

Take a look at our 39-025, awning window operator. This was used by Victor Sun windows out of Philadelphia. Compare it to your operator to make sure it matches up.

All done. We received 4 and they fit perfectly, and I just ordered another 6 to complete replacement of operators for all the awning windows on our screened in porch in Rehoboth Beach, DE. For three years breaking cranks on operators were the bane of my beach existence, and I am happy to say that is all in the past! Thanks for your help!
