Disassembling Genie Screw Type Garage Door Opener

[Flapjack]

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I can't figure out how to get the screws to separate.

I'm pretty sure the entire thing doesn't work, so I was just trying to break it down to make it easier to throw away.

Hahah, good point.

I was thinking of putting it on Craig's List as a "free if you want to fuck with it and get it working", since I just missed trash day for this week....

The kind of people that would show up for a "Free" garage door opener probably aren't the people you want seeing your house/belongings...

Another good point. Ok. Sawzall and trash next week it is.

In my neighborhood you can set it out early on trash day and somebody will be along within 15 minutes to scoop it up and sell it for scrap metal. You don't even need to cut it up.

I can do that. Our trash area is at the top of the hill, well away from our house. You can barely see our place from the road. When I've put stuff on Craig's List for free, I always leave it up there. We don't get a lot of traffic by our house, as we're pretty far back in the country.

How old was it? My old house had a couple genie screw drives that were at least 10+ years old and working well when I sold the place. They seem like decent openers.

We have assumed it is inop, but are not 100% sure. It was left behind by the previous owners. I haven't tested it, well, because I'm really not sure how to test it. If I can sell it, that would be great. The two we have now are also screw drive, but one is old and doesn't work well with most clickers. I usually replace them with the "telephone box style" one that connect directly to the door via jackshaft.
Anyways, here is a pic of it. I couldn't find a model number anywhere.
