Wow, been a lot of postings about the Calypso's lately, so I decided to get a set. Found out that REX Appliance had a few of them left over and went there. Had to go to four different stores to finally find a set. Jeff says "this thing aint right". Then he said, Steve, this looks like that Old Kelvinator thing, in meaning the way it agitates and the "Magic Minute". I said yes, but it's the magic 1 hour! LOL. Glenn: Big thanks about the lid switch, I put my toggle in the rear of the machine. Here are a few pics. Steve |

For anyone interested, the Kenmore version of the Calypso is still showing up at the Sears outlet stores. About $700. The Orlando store has 4 of them, all unused. |

Congrats on your new set. I'm sure you will enjoy them as much I plan to enjoy mine. Do they have the Kenmore Calypso dryer? I would like to have one that matches my washer. |

Great set, Steve! I wasn't at all interested in the Calypso until Glenn and others started posting pics and video. They have a very interesting wash action. As for buying another pair and leaving them in the box: Do it! Can you imagine what a collector will pay for a MIB Calypso in 10 years? The only other TL'er that can rival these for being rare is the TL Maytag Neptune, no? |

Congratulations! It would be nice to see some videos especially of how the elevated wash-plate works. Thanks. |

Bob: The HE4t is in the inside laundry room. Still have it. alr2903: Yes, that is a water softner. Eugene: The Neptune TL is my next venture, I know where one is lurking, but the price is still 799. At REX's, the Calypso's were washer 449 and the dryer 379. Brent: Jeff got his new toy last August. A new tractor. Have already done four loads. Thanks everyone for all the comments and information etc. This is fun! Steve |

After speaking with Glenn (dadoes), we shared serial numbers etc. This is the results Glenn gave me on my machines. Interesting. We both thought that Whirlpool had mass produced these and had warehoused them hoping for a large bank deposit. Not the case. Steve Dryer MT4003193. M = Marion Ohio facility. T = 2006. 40 = 40th week of 2006. 03193 = item sequence number of that week. Washer CS1395141. C = Clyde Ohio facility. S = 2005. 13 = 13th week of 2005. 95141 = item sequence number of that week. |

You know the way the Calypso works it should not have had that much water in it. |
