Data recovery from Micropolis 1304 HD

Can anyone recommend a service to recover data from old Micropolis 1304 HD?
I just want the data, not worried if recovery destroys the drive itself.

I’m UK-based, so somewhere in Europe would be simpler.

I can’t help directly, but I see a couple of threads elsewhere about fixing up such drives:

You may get in contact to a MFM Reader / Emulator from David Gesswein owner to make 1st an image of the HD and then you can try to get the files from the hd.

I’ve been using DavidG’s MFM emulator for a while on my Tektronix 4404.

The problem is these disks do not spin up, so they need someone who can image the data using another method.
