just a public service announcement....
those bamboo fondue skewers make great replacements for the metal rods. easier to replace when shot too.
experience is a great teacher... lol
You can change the ends on them. I'm a door guy. You can spread the metal crimp/piece on the end and use your original one. Bit of a pain but we do it to shorten belts if needed. There's 2 styles of belts early with wide flat teeth and new style narrow taller teeth.
**Edit - yours in the picture is old style usually a model 1280 opener.
I was looking at land up north and this was one of the pictures...

We have had the Opal for many years. Not sure what upgrades the Opal 2.0 has but my wife is pretty happy and LOVES the nugget ice. The "smart" features on the original are a little persnickety but we rarely even bother using them. It is not FAST though.
Not sure what you are looking for capacity wise but this is what we use in the summer. My wife bags it up and keeps a few bags on hand.

394+205 tax stamp+125 healeys transfer cost+29.99 I think is the trust. Around 760 all in. It's around 200 cheaper than the same one I've got waiting for the atf from last year. I think the can was just under 600 plus all the extra.
Nice stair-climber work.
Have gotten around to some of the AZ Trail sections with elevation ups/downs, recently. Did Four Peaks last month and the Huachuca's weekend before last (Miller Peak ain't no joke! 😩). Rincons next weekend. FINALLY starting to feel like my legs are shaping-up.
