Is it really the knowledge that's fading away or the technique?
I mean, seriously, there is nothing complicated about core planes.
Its a bunch of toroids with wires strung through them.
The difficulty is not in knowing what needs to be done, but the
delicacy and patience of doing it.

So in
conclusion : can core memory stacks be repaired ?
Potentially yes, but it is every bit as difficult as you would expect, and
only certains failure modes are repairable.
I think nearly all failure modes can be repaired. When these core
planes were being strung, either by women or machine, wire and core
breaks were quite common, and it was expected that nearly all core
stacks had to have at least some rework.
The main issue is that the knowledge to make these repairs is probably
fading away fast as the women are dying.
