Did it use wet tantalums, though? If the alternative is "solid tantalums", then it didn't -- SCD 1006755, the only type of tantalum used in the computer, specifies them as "Capacitor Fixed, Electrolytic, Solid Tantalum". Our computer has KEMET KGxxJyyKPS parts (xx=capacitance, yy=rating), but they also at least evaluated Sprague 150D, 151D, and 350D to fill the role (and utilized at least one of them).
