I have a 1968-69 cue that is not straight. The lift or warp whatever is not bad. It appears to be at the joint and C ring area. I am not sure. I was lead to believe that a cue can be taken apart and put back together, rebuild. Are any makers offering that's service. If so, how much does that run???

A cue can't easily be taken apart and put together, it's not LEGO..
Can you replace individual components in a cue? To a certain extent. But if a cue has so much wrong with it that it doesn't make sense from a time or money perspective it's often best to leave it. Time does funny things to materials and it can be very hard to match colours, weave patterns etc.
 
Unless it's a one of a kind or stupid sentimental, I am not sure it'd ever be worth the time and money to try and disassemble a cue, hoping to un-warp it.

When cues warp, it's not because the joint gets tweaked or bent, it's because the wood was affected by moisture and has stressfully warped into a new shape. At this point, it's pretty much kaput.

It's probably possible, but the amount of time and money to do it, just buy a new cue.
