What you see above is 3 major rebuilds over 40 years of riding.
This is the kind of rebuild that you should never consider having your local bike shop do for you. It would cost $1500 and would not be worth it.
But if you have any mechanical skills, you can do it at home, and smart shopping for tools and parts makes it cost-effective.
All the information you could ever ask for is on the internet.
Pick and choose what you need done at you LBS. If you're not comfortable with adjusting BB and headset, have those rebuilt by your LBS, etc.
Take it in stages.
Begin with rebuild for immediate service, then rebuild for comfort and work your way through rebuild for function.
