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

I'll cut you a break here phil and remind you about
ANALOGUE computer systems where mathematical functions
such as "differentiation" and "integration" were perfomed with
circuits known as "Operational amplifiers" usually back then
constructed with devices known as "valves". Trust such a
narrow minded appliance mechanic to think in such a mental
valley.

Surely a penis breathed felcher, failed engineering
student such as yourself would be familiar with such a concept
back in 1972.

** However, your para above that you so carefully snipped ( to hide your
****wit blunder) refers to computers of the binary kind - ie those with
thousands of valves.

OTOH you have yet to succeed at anything.
