Historical Hercus distribution WA
I think info about this has been posted before but I can't find the post, but anyway the photos were lost, so for latecomers to Hercus here are a few photos I took when Visiting Mike Fiora at Fiora Machinery in Perth. In past decades Fiora used to be a Hercus agent in WA when they sold many machines to schools and cafes. As a bit of a history tribute they set up a display area with some older machines.

Mike has retired and is part time refurbishing old mainly Hercus machines. His workshop at teh back of Fiora Machinery has dozens of machines in various states of repair and is well worth a visit.
One big draw back is that (as the Fiora Machinery Admin staff say) Mike is truly "living in the 70's", does not have a mobile or landline and does not use the internet. You have call Fiora and ask to speak to Mike and he may or may not be there.
