I ended up with two belt drives from Overhead door company. Due to the
size of the doors.. I can tell you (if it matters) the belt drives are
quieter than a well lubed genie screw. You can however, still buy a genie
at the big box stores. I'd do that before i'd attempt any repair on an
old one. Hell they're only $139 or whatever.

It seems that it is usually cheaper to get something new than it is to
repair many things now.

I always liked the warranty of the $ 5.00 socket sets from years ago.
Guaranteed for life. You send the broken socket back and get a new one
for $ 4.95 shipping and handling.




And I ran into some companies that required me to send the whole unit back,
many pounds, instead of just the broken part, a few ounces, and paid
shipment both ways. That make the warranty worthless.
