Hmm. Looks like I came in at the tail end of those.
Rewiring a teletype. Yep. But we were a little more advanced. We had an IC socket on the motherboard that pre-wired IC headers plugged into, depending on whether we wanted current-loop or not.
Reseating interface cards. Yep
While I did have a small amount of paper-tape use, most of my reading "JMP' and 'Call' instructions by eye was from hexadecimal printouts.
And while I didn't have cores as memory, I did have lots of chips to install for a measly 16K of RAM.
Happy days.
