I'd love to know if everything works in an M6 without batteries except the meter. I seem to remember only 1/60th works? Thanks for answering my trivial question....
Does m6 work without batteries?

200% right.
Everything thing works except the meter. Actually the batteries are there for the meter and nothing else.
I think you are confused with the M7 and its electronic shutter. For this camera only 2 speeds (I think 1/60 and 1/125) will work when the batteries are removed.
Enjoy your M6!

Is there an issue with flash sync or something like that with the M6TTL (not the M6 classic)? Never owned one, but have a vague memory of reading something like that (???).

That's right. TTL flash control can not work without batteries, it needs
a thyristor. But the M6 ("classic") flash trigger is mechanical.
