No not at all! Computer valves I imagine just have different
properties (curves),if anything they would be among the last valves
designed and have lots of previous valve design techniques incorporated.

The main criteria for computer valves would have been long life and
stability as such a beast would have used thousands of valves so any
failures or drifting would be disasterous. The Manley techs would have
alternatives ready and waiting for such a current production item.

At a pinch there would likely be something with very close
properties but likely with a different package or pinouts requiring an
adapter to be made if there's enough room for it in the case (worst case,
heh heh). Chances are you'll never need that spare set anyway

P.S. it's SO easy to get a bite off some people isn't it?
