No, he had to use mechanical gears, etc. because they were the only device technology available in his time. Electric relays were first developed about 15 years after he designed his computer, while vacuum tubes were first developed about 90 years after he designed his computer.

What year did Alan Turing invent his computer?
Alan Turing's invention of the programmable digital computer appeared in his 1936 paper "On Computable Numbers". However as it was only used as part of his main proof on computability in that paper, he never considered how such a machine might actually be built and made to work. Many years later this type of computer architecture was named a "Turing Machine".After his World War 2 work at Bletchley Park and his exposure to Tommy Flowers' codebreaking programmable electronic digital computers called "Colossus", Alan Turing helped design and build stored program electronic digital computers (these were not based on his earlier "Turing Machine" invention).
