Default Allstar MVP Garage Door Systems

Most of us in The Villages have an MVP Allstar garage door system. My wall switch has started to malfunction. It is lit up but the up and down buttons do not work. Battery operated remotes open and close the door fine.
I thought I could purchase a new wall unit and swap it out but find that these are unavailable as this unit is discontinued.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem and found a solution? Thanks.

You can also buy the type with a numerical pad from Amazon.

While Ryan Ocull (352 617 0522) was fixing a broken spring in garage door , I mentioned to him that the pad needed to be replaced because it wasn’t working . I asked him how much the pad was when he finished and he said all it needed was to be cleaned no charge , that was about 7 months ago still working fine. FYI Ryan answers phone and shows up very fast when you need him

Second using Ryan. When he was at my place changing out the springs I was complaining about the Allstar MVP and he stated it's the best one out there. That would be because it's primarily metal compared all the new openers. I still hate the Allstar due to the noise and no rolling codes or "smart" features.

According to one Amazon reviewer, this Linear wall console will work with the MVP garage opener. Linear is the owner of the MVP company. $18.80 and one day delivery. There are other sellers of this product on Amazon.

I Smell a rat with this vendor. My order hasn't been confirmed, and seller hasn't been responsive. I'm most likely going to cancel through PayPal by the end of the day.
BE CAREFUL.

I just canceled this order. IF they happen to be legit, they are not very good at doing business

Within the first month of buying our preowned home I replaced the garage door opener with a belt drive MyQ enabled one. World of difference

As for noise - you can easily replace the metal rollers with nylon rollers.

Understood very well. the entire line is difficult to find anything for without going general generic items. So I have elected to replace them before it's too late. We are going with wall mounted units in the next few months.
