Best refractor "scopesmith" in Australia

I bought a refractor I have been coveting for a LONG while (yes, more than my FL102S). It is showing it's age and does have a spot or 2 of mold on the inside of the objective (cannot tell yet if between the objective 2, or behind the last objective lens - hoping the later!).

Failing sending it back to Japan to clean and possibly recoat (though I doubt it needs the recoat), who in Australia is best suited to perform the work of clean, and probably recollimate the system (it's a 4 element Petzval Nagler astrograph design)

Perhaps Satchmo may know?
