Hello Bill That could be something useful to one of our group? although the Legacy acme screw is 5/8"x8 so a new nut and hook up to the carriage, will be needed if ...? But anything is possible. Thanks for the idea. C.A.G.

I didn’t follow it too closely, so I don’t know if a good source was ever found. Well, to the point. Today I purchased a new screw drive garage door opener. It came with, you guessed it, a nine foot lead screw. The lead screw is in three foot sections that interlock to form one screw, and is steel, one half inch diameter, and has eight threads per inch pitch. If this would work for use, I would guess that there are old screw drive garage door openers out there.
