68 Ambassador Window crank

Hi, I am new to this forum and posting for the first time. I'm full-time boondocked in a restored 1968 28 foot Ambassador on my property while I rebuild my home. I've just recently had trouble with two of my windows, both are framed curved and on the roadside of the trailer. The crank on the front one doesn't work at all, as what I'm calling the "teeth bar" of the hinge has cracked in half. The rear window can be partially opened, but then as you crank, it no longer opens wider but simply bounces back to the same spot. In both cases, it would seem that the hinge mechanism needs replacing, but I don't know what this is called or where to source it. I'm attaching a photo of an intact one from one of my operable windows. Thanks in advance to any help you can give this Airstream newbie.

Marty
