Truing a wheel?

I just bough a 1986 Schwinn prelude in great shape except for the rear wheel is a bit wobbly. I could take it to the LBS to have them true it for 25 bucks OR I saw on craigslist a wheel truing stand for 30 OBO. I was wondering if this is something I could realistically do. I am thinking I could get the truing stand and a spoke wrench for about the same price as having the bike shop do it and then I will be set forever. I just don't know the first thing about truing a wheel. Ive built wheels before but always sent them out to be trued because I was intimidated. I do most work myself, but I am not sure about this. Any advice?
