Lathe, lathe work (in Perth)

I have a few items I need machining (for a telescope).

Is there anyone in Perth who is willing to let me use their lathe?

I am a competent instrument maker / machinist, having owned my own lathe (and milling machine) but sold them a few years ago.

If anyone could assist it would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

I have a machinist here in Sydney if you don't find anyone local.

Incidentally... I'm happy to swap lathe time for scope time (on a 22" RC, 16"Dk or 14" hyperbolic astrograph - take your pick)
