You can fix those old arrows up with shrink wrap fletchings. Cheaper can be found, but it takes about 10 minute to refletch 10 arrows, and they'll fly better than when they were new. Scrape off the old fletchings with a knife (I assume you can find one), boil some water, remove water from heat, put the new fletchings on as you like, and slowly dip into the hot water.
That's all there is to it.
I have an old Grayling jig from the 90's. It was a hand-me-down/freebie. It's basically a plastic version of the Bitzenburger. I have fletched many dozens of arrows with it and I plan to fletch many dozens more. After a quick google search, I see that the Grayling Fletching Jig is still available today, and $29 for a complete setup seems like a reasonable deal. I just found a right helical clamp for it for about $10.
If this jig had not been given to me for free I would have been skeptical about it and I am sure I would have never purchased one based on online pictures, but the jig has definitely been a work horse. The only routine maintenance that I do on this jig is to check the nock alignment before I start and to adjust the nock rotation if I want the cock feather up instead of out.
If I was going to get a new fletching jig today, I would probably get one of the Bohning Feather Tower Fletching Jigs that does three feathers or vanes at one time.
I use something similar, the Grayling Fletching Jig. Should work about the same as the one you linked, so I think it's a worthy investment. I chose this because I didn't want a bright red one. Haha.
Usually it's an adhesive backed sticker, unless you're thinking of something like quickfletch
I use masking tape with a dremel to cut arrows. In addition I use the Bohning Complete Tower Jig Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BE8IBCK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Cw.QBb2BST4XF to do fletching.
