You can use any generic opener available from Lowe’s or Home Depot. It doesn’t have to be MVP brand.

The market for a universal opener that opens the MVP is very limited. I found several, but none of them worked well - the range was extremely limited.

I had the same experience. Universals do not work with old MVP openers. You can find a used one on ebay but they were starting at $80. Best to just upgrade the entire unit to something newer and with wifi. Also, if you have Amazon garage delivery, you can't use it with an old MVP opener.

eBay would be a better shot at finding a used one

Not today. They have a used MVP inside wall console, but no MVP remotes.

There is a used MVP wall opener on Nextdoor for $60 right now. I did see someone selling 3 remotes last week but they must have been sold.

Eventually they quit working. Buy a belt driven opener from Lowe’s and purchase installation; they use local garage door companies. A few years ago, ours was less than $400 for a Craftsman (made by Chamberlain).

Installed with 3 remotes and outside remote opener total cost was $800.
I am having the same issues with our MVP unit as it will not hold a code. This is resulting in the door going up and down at will. I called Scott and he is coming out this week to put a whole new Chamberlin Lift Master in, $550.00 total.
I had called ROMAC and they wanted $900.00 for the same unit.
I recently had to do the same thing with Scott at another property we have here in TV. Anyone that has these MVP controllers will in short time be needing to replace theirs I would imagine.

Do you know the model number that Scott is installing? Thanks.

My neighbor tried this it did not work, I think he tried 2 or 3 "universal" remotes.
