On Thursday, August 16, 2001, I visited
Dr. Eleftherios Diamandis (aka Lefty) and Dr. Tasoula Diamandis
at their lab in the
Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Department at Mount Sinai Hospital.

They have three CFI615s - all still functioning and being used regularly for research.
I wanted to open one of the units to take a look (and some pictures) inside,
but after discussing this with Lefty and Tasoula,
we decided that this was a bad idea.
The units had not been moved in many years,
and opening a drawer may cause something to break.
Finding a replacement part now would be next to impossible
(anyone know where to purchase an IBM-XT motherboard with an Intel 8088 processor running at 4.77 MHz?).

The center unit is S/N 8802025 - which means it was completed in February 1988!
The right most unit is S/N 9004151 (completed in April 1990).
The left most unit was displaying reading results,
so I was unable to determine the S/N.

Thanks to the doctors for their time, and for access to their lab and the CFI615s.
