If enough working heads can be found, the drum probably can be
remanufactured, as according to this:
http://miriam-english.org/files/drum-computers/drum-computers.html
the drum was nickel-chromium plated, not ferric oxide. This is what I
would have suspected, as coating equipment and binders would probably be
a far cry from modern technology back then, where precision plating was
already an established art.
