Will,
We used these on EC-121s (predecessor to AWACS) when I was in the USAF.
I don't ever remember one failing. I don't think we ever replaced one in
the 3+ years that I worked on that stuff.

Speaking of "core on a rope", etc, I've read no mention of "memory
drums", used on
some airborne systems. I remember reading some "horror stories" about
what happened
when these things suffered various forms of mechanical failure...
