I sure have a hard time fathoming any of this.
Quite apart from the obvious one of building a pin-compatible modern memory,
another answer comes to mind. If a core plane has come apart, the cores could
be recovered and restrung. That requires patience and dexterity, but it should
be doable. It also requires a device to hold the cores correctly for
threading; something like that could easily be made in a a 3d printer.
