The current opener, a chain drive Martin unit, has been in use for 38 or
39 years, I forgot how many. Martin is a local Salt Lake company, I
will probably see what they have available before I go to a big box store.
One hindrance to replacing the opener is the fact there are two
Spitfires in the garage, neither of which can be readily moved. There is
room to work around them, I think. If not I could get one to roll
outside without too much trouble.
Whatever type and brand of unit I buy, I will try to install it myself,
probably with the help of a friend.
If it turns out the spring needs adjustment, I will call in a pro for
sure. I don't want to mess with that.
