Went to Sears Parts website in model 139.66380 referenced by Jim above.
Was looking for a replacement remote. They could only offer a rolling-code
converter for $70. Fortunately was able to get the remote working. Any other
issues, I think, will mean buying a whole new opener...

Or just find a used one using craigslist, freecycle, ebay, or other such
places..

There are not really that many types of GDO remotes. You just need to
figure out which one you have.

I bet you could find something on Ebay or failing that, don't they have
universal ones where you get new remotes and a new receiver and it hooks
up via the door opener button circuit?

I don't remember all of the details but I had no problem getting extra
remotes for my sears opener and a remote for the one I use as a "next"
button on my MP3 player.

.... or the one I use as an alarm in my car. (turns on the outside
lights and whatever else I plug in the box)

Basically you have a couple of frequencies and a different number of
dip switches in the remote but if you match them up they work. There
are a few sites that describe it a lot better and get you on the right
track.

I bought a package of 5 O-rings from Sears repair parts

http://www.searspartsdirect.com/part...t/index.action

The 5 rings together weigh about 1/4 ounce and fit in a small mailing
envelope. The price of the rings was $3.58 but the shipping was $9.98.
I live in a rural area without much shopping around, so I had no
choice.

I guess I'm lucky that I could even get them. Sears won't be around in
any place or form in a few years.

Update: part still has not shipped and searspartsdirect.com doesn't
know the status. Thankfully, this water neutralizer is the last Sears
product I still own. I will never buy another Sears product.
Apparently a lot of other people feel the same way.
