Success or failure in replacing uPVC hinges and gearing - original obsolete

This is a "did you succeed" rather than a "how to" question. I have 25 year old uPVC windows with Roto (?) tilt swivel hinges /gearing etc. The mechanism is unobtainable and one supplier has suggested a complete replacement system . Even with labour, this would be much cheaper than a complete replacement unit. Even if I take measurements carefully, there is a risk the new mechanism won't fit. I'm asking for feedback on anyone who has attempted this change and whether you succeeded or failed.

Thanks
