I have the same one. I was going through my subs and saw the thumbnail and just looked up at the garage door opener next to me. Now I’m here.
I can remember Genie garage door openers from the late 60's my late aunt and uncle had one in their home. A steel housing with the motor in the garage, a small vented steel box containing the circuit board and vacuum tubes for the receiver, plugged into the operator. Push button on the wall, plus transmitters for each car.
Those units were very reliable and I remember the vacuum receiver boxes you are talking about. I have a 1960's Genie Screw Drive (Model 401) that still works like new. I don't much care for the newer types as they seem cheap and plastic.
Ok boomer
Wow! The robots assembling the openers look like real people!! Congratulations!!
The most frustrating part of garage door openers is if you have camera sensors on the ground in the front and they get misaligned and start to insist something is in the way when it's not.
If you don’t have kids and dogs and aren’t worried about the door smashing something in the way (car) then you could mount them on the ceiling by the motor and I could almost guarantee you you’ll never have safety eye issues.
Might need to replace them. They get bad after 5-10 years of sunlight. Easy to replace relatively cheap online.
I charge 100 bucks to go correct that....sooooo, make sure you check them please
@@TheKonakairay Yea, that's not legal in any state. They're going to have to be on the floor if you ever plan on selling that house. You might as well not half ass it the first time
SammyM00782 that’s cheap. You gotta charge 100 bucks for the sensors and then 75 for the labor my dude.
They make packaging look easy but when I try to return stuff I can’t package like the factory.
I have changed SOOOOOO many circuit boards for that opener
Nice info...... 👍
I’ve been watching Science Channel for a while now! I loved their content! As such, I made my own sci-fi/futurist channel!!
sAME
sub beggar😐
Awesome
Now I need to wait for huggbees to make a video on this 🙃
Superb vidio
ive only seen the chain drive style of openers. is this a newer design?
It's newer but they've been around for a long time.
Not really newer, screw-drive openers have been around since the 70s. History on openers is not recorded well but screw-drive openers are have been pretty much phased out, Genie still offers a couple models but literally every other company no longer offers them, even the more popular Chamberlain/LiftMaster company. Most companies opt for either belt or chain drive, with belt being much more popular due to its quietness.
The most recent innovation is jackshaft, one’s that connect directly to the garage door’s torsion rod. It’s popular because it’s packaged nearly but are significantly more expensive. It’s just a commercial motor style that’s been adapted for residential garage doors. Most innovations are incremental stuff like LED, Wi-Fi, built-in camera, etc.
Awesome first comment!
very good video!
TNX please make more vidio
korean rice name grown in cali?! lol
WHAT WAS THE GREEN WIRE FOR? lol, It was in the way at every step and never was anything?
Hats off to the engineer's
They're rough with those mobos
I need a distraction. Bring it
*pops into sub box* Welll say no more!
Currently 100% like rate
I’ll bet thats super satisfying to get to plug all those in all day 😮
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
why is the operator case so big
“Decades ago people had to get out of their car to open the garage door” oh USA *sigh*
Yeah! And we had to get up to change the channel or volume on our TV! LOL
I'm American and my family's had a manual garage door for the last decade still
It's weird to see a video with 26 views
They keep it plugged in while people are working on it?
xnamkcor X guess that’s why everyone was wearing gloves... the person at the start/finish point looked like they were wearing the “Ove’Glove” (oven mitts with fingers.)
That outlet isn't powered until it goes into the test station.
That is the shittiest and most dangerous opener. Don’t ever buy genie.
100% true.
Easy to bypass
Was this filmed in the 1970’s?
Yes
Was it really?
August 14, 1977
@@BLUELEADER78 I feel like it's way ahead of its time.
"Decades ago people had to get out of the car to open the garage door" it's 2023 and I have to get out to open the gate and then garage door. Fml.
Screwdrives are sad.
I don’t like Gene garage door openers I had one and it was terrible
Me life sci-fi like if u do to!
Okay video😄😡😇😴
I hate this series because it takes so much time from good shows
Really? I say it's really satisfying. Say what you want, I don’t care what anyone else says.
Terrible explanation video,, it's more like a documentary..
