SYD: someone to clean SCT optics

Hi,

I have a LX200-ACF 10", I bought it used, I have never cleaned it since I've had it, purchased in 2012.

I was giving it an exam today, I can see a couple of fungus spots on the inside of the corrector plate glass and when I shine a torch in, I can see what looks like streaking on the mirror.

I saw a great vid on youtube today:

But I'm not sure I have the guts to do it.

Anyone know of anyone in Sydney that could give it a clean for me?

Thanks.
Richard
