Be careful if you take apart a M6. Due to the circuitry in the camera, you 
need to ground the camera properly. If you dont do that, you can fry the 
board. The earlier M's were much easier to dismantle and put back together, 
the M6 and the M6TTL is a different kettle of fish. A fried circuit board can 
cost upwards of $400 to replace so there could be some false economy there. 
Also cleaning the prisms and mirrors in the viewfinder is not a simple case 
of 'window "cleaning, the mirror are surface silvered and extremely fragile.
