Homelink on an old garage
Sorry, wasn't sure where to put this.
Would love to use a garage for once. Have a REAL old system. Is there any way to modify (low price and easy) without replacing the opener?
It currently has an ancient (not operating) Telectron yellow box w/ fixed radio frequency and the oldest clicker you've ever seen.

You can buy a new opener with warranty for a little over $100. Don't fix something so old it might break again. My

This. Just buy a new opener for $100-150 and call it a day. It'll have rolling code, two clickers, and a key fob. Repairing the old one will probably cost as much.

The fact you have all of the braces in place will save you time. I put one up a month ago. Half of the time was assembly, half was putting up support braces. The instructions are included. DIY and feel smug you didn't pay Lowes $99 to do it.
Everything should work with Homelink. Even you old one would have worked since it has a remote.
