Hi,
I agree with Chris, give it a go. Get a quote or two. Data recovery is big business, and the really good places keep a store of every kind of drive model so they can swap parts into a failed one.
Some HDD failures are just hardware based, like in the internal board, or the mechanism driving the read/write heads. If the heads have not bounced across the disk surface they can get back everything.
Other failures are software based, and if the whole File Allocation Table is corrupt, it is harder.
Difficult jobs can even cost a $1000 or two, but it may be worth it to you
All the best
