Yes, the wheel bearings are cup and cones.

I appreciate your advice.
Chain might be worn otherwise it’s a minimal investment. KMCs can be pretty inexpensive and durable.

If there is no rust or putting on the balls/cages, they are probably good to go...

With the thin tires and regreased bearings, just have fun, maybe add some fenders and a rack and it’s good to go!
