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.
