The receiver is an RCD Platinum Series, made in 1991. Is this something that I can send in to have thoroughly checked out? If so, how much would that cost?

The transmitter is a Futaba Conquest that I would send to Futaba if getting things checked is cost effective.

R/C airplanes are SECONDARY users of the 72 MHz band. If memory serves me correctly, the channels between ours are allocated to pagers. Given the proliferation of these devices since 1991, I would highly recommed upgrading to a new radio designed for the current environment.
