Garage door opener - universal OK?

Question:
I have a rather elderly Sears electric door opener that works well but I need another remote. I opened the "solid state" remote transmitter I have expecting to find dip switches or some other way to set the frequency but found none. On the back sticker it says "CARRIER FREQ N".

Would a "universal remote" work for such a model? And is $20 a fair price to pay for one?


Answer:
Carrier frequency N is a VHF frequency.hasnt been used for garage door openers since the 70s.After that they switched to UHF.im not sure what you mean by a "universal remote",but at Sears and other places they sell a "universal remote kit" that consists of a new,modern style receiver and a transmitter to match it.they are more like 50-60 dolars and they include a 110 volt "wall wart" adapter,as the new style receiver does not take its power from the motor box.
