That is good news Brucepick,
A bad valve seal will really chew up your oil and lose compression. It sounds like you have a good shop you are working with many mechanics don't go through the trouble to scope. you can do the straw test but i think you have already found your answer.
have the head rebuilt new valves, seals, springs and valve guides whatever the shop thinks you need. It well cost a few bucks but you will have a nice running motor again with all new gaskets to boot.
Best of luck in getting her running again, It is sweet driving a car after it is properly fixed you feel all that you originally liked about it.
