I always wondered what the Tek PCB sockets were filled with and was that stuff really necessary?
I'm only guessing that it's silicone. I've not gotten a great look at it, actually. I thought, in the GRiD laptops, that it was a solid seal over the top of the socket, based on first encountering it in the sockets for an unpopulated 8087, but that may also be inaccurate.
