truth handles spin

The Truth arm operator work on all my windows, but handles on 3 of the 5 windows spin. The handle is made by weathershield in Medford Wisc. and it does not have a set screw on the bottom. Do you have this handle?
Thank you,

If the handle just spins without anything working, then it's likely that the gears in the operator have stripped out. You will probably need an all new operator.
It's tough to say for sure what can replace this, though, as much of your operator is obscured. Start by looking over our 39-171. This looks similar, but I'm not sure. I would like to see the operator out of the window, if possible.
For a replacement handle, see our 39-114L.

To clarify, the operator works fine and the window opens with a different handle. But the original handle spins on the spindle. Do the attached photos look like a 39-114L to you?

That's a funny question, Mike. Speaking very precisely, no, that handle doesn't look exactly like the 39-114L to me. It looks closer to 39-114 in shape, and we don't offer a copper or gold color like that for either handle.
However, for your purposes, yes, your handle can be replaced with either the 39-114L or the ordinary 39-114, or any 11/32" handle.
The difference is purely the shape; they both fit the exact same spindles/operators. The 39-114L is a more modern "low-profile" handle, whereas 39-114 is the older, clunkier version, with more angles, like yours.
I happen to prefer the shape of the 39-114L, but it's your choice. There is also a folding crank handle and a T handle that you might like.
