It was always marked "pressurized-do not open". I think that pressure was the only safety hazard though, as in the risk of the thing blowing glass all over you if you tried to pry it open. I learned the hard way on one when I was a kid and I assure you, there was no green goo in it, just a coil of wire surrounding a glass tube containing two sets of reed contacts. The 400D cards were Mil-Spec and I doubt very seriously that there is anything to be concerned over. I must agree with most people here that the goo is coming from an outside source, such as a water leak or a concentration of humidity in the area. Ed Vaughn, MBSWWYPBX

So, the liquid will remain a non-hazardous mystery. Thanks again for all the feedback and posts. I will definitely keep this site bookmarked for future telecommunications issues.

It's a thick liquid, probably from a capacitor. I wouldn't eat it, but it's nothing to worry about in a non-functioning system. It looks like your power supply is directly over the goo, so that's probably the source.

Is this the reed relay? The green goo is extremely viscous, almost like melted plastic. My concern is the same as env guy as my newly pregnant wife was the first to discover the goo after having unknowingly come in contact with it and having had it on her skin for ~30 minutes. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

The delta symbol is actually an upside down Delta. Many thanks, Rhett
