Well, a nice Mercedes was $6000 in the 70's too, not $70,000.
I figure a proper service takes an hour if you know what you are
doing, and entails the use of some fairly expensive tooling (proper
ultrasonic or "basket" cleaner, timing machine, expensive screwdrivers
and possibly others), so

A complete service (polish or replace crystal, disassemble, clean,
assemble, oil) is gonna be at least $100. Less than that, they are
just rinsing it and re-lubricating (or worse, spraying with "one step"
