You are thinking of the Air Thermo-Cycler, Model 1605, from Idaho
Technology. There are 10 or so in our department, one on my bench right
now. Best thermocycler ever made. You can do 30 cycles in 45'! 

An upgraded model has recently been introduced. I don't know anything
about it. The following information is from my instruction manual:

Price:  $4,600

        Idaho Technology Inc.
        PO Box 50819
        Idaho Flls, ID 83405

Phone:  800/735-6544

Fax:    208/524-1605

I have no connection with them other than as an extremely satisfied
customer.

Cheers,

Eric.
