Greetings Jason! Yes, reproductions of the LeDeau vent operators are available as are acrylic
replacement domes for the 14” x 24” Astrodome. The reproduction mechanisms are not an
exact copy of the original but are functional replacements. Both products are available from Inland
RV. Their website is: The link for a picture of the astrodome
is: http://www.inlandrv.com/parts/001s-astrodome.jpg The link for a picture of the reproduction
operators is: http://www.inlandrv.com/parts/83792-ventoper.jpg These are the parts that were used in the
restoration of the astrodome on my 1964 Overlander
International over a year ago. They
are functionally fantastic, but they are not exact reproductions, however, I am
very satisfied as they were a workable solution that restored the functionality
of a vent that is definitely needed when attending rallies with minimal
electric service. While I haven’t had trouble with the
jalousie window operators in my 1964 Overlander, all
of the other window operators have been replaced without problem by Ace Fogdall RV, Inc. in http://www.acefogdallrv.com/service/ The folks at Ace Fogdall
RV are very Vintage friendly and are a current Airstream
dealer. They currently have my Overlander in their service department installing new BAL
stabilizer jacks and repairing a temperamental power inverter. I have also had very good luck with the
parts that I have purchased from Inland RV. Good luck with your decision! 1964 Overlander
