"Retrodata's platter extraction system is a 165-pound device that uses
laser-guided positioning to help it accurately extract platters from
any 3.5 inch hard drive with minimal user intervention. Such devices
normally require highly skilled operators, but Retrodata's can be
operated by a relative novice."

"The System P. EX is slated for release next month, at an approximate
cost of $6,950 per unit."

I know we have a regular contributor to this NG from Retrodata -
further details would be
appreciated!

Sounds very interesting. Is this intended for people that
want to start their own data-recovery business?

Nope, it will be a collectors item.
With only one made it will appreciate in value very quickly.
