It's worth remembering that the early M6 bodies had a defective metering 
circuit that has had an extremely high failure rate over the years, and 
didn't even require a damp day or someone breathing on them to fail. 



I love(d) my M6 cameras - I've owned half a dozen or more since they were 
first introduced - but they are not bullet-proof.
