Removing a single core from the really bad stack to
the almost OK stack
would seems almost feasible to me, since address 0 is bound to be on a edge
of a core mat.
Any ideas / suggestions ?
Yes, core memory can be repaired by replacing individual cores and
restringing wires. Most (nearly all I have seen) stacks actually have
repairs if you look for them, as the production process never was
perfected. The manufacturers had women at benches reworking core
planes all day (what a job, eh?).
For your core plane, a rather common type, it may not be worth it.
Just wait until you can get a replacement, then put the bad plane up
on Ebay to pay for it.
