Looking to replace a vintage front hub cone.

Hi! I just opened up my 1989 Schwinn Voyageur's front hub and learned I need a new cone or 2 if I want it to run nice and smooth. The problem is, when I took it to my LBS they were pretty pessimistic about finding a proper replacement and recommended I just got a new wheel or repack it as is and run it gritty. I know a guy with an identical bike and I remember him talking about replacing stuff in his hubs. He said it was a pain in the neck, but I guess he did it. So I was hoping some more knowing people might be able to help me to identify what I need and where I might be able to find it! (If I can)

The hub itself is 36 spoke (I think? 18 holes on each side) and says:

Maillard
1 06 89
Made in France

The cones themselves didn't have much for identifiers, but I attached pictures.

The mechanic who looked at it said it has a 9x1 thread, and about a 3mm edge where that silver rim thing is attached.

If replacing a couple more parts (the axel or something else cheap an simple) would give me a few more options to find a match then I would be open to that.
