I've heard some mention of meter circuit failure with some Wetzlar-built M6's.
Anyone on the forum had this problem? My Wetzlar M6's are working just fine.

After 23 years there are no problems with it (any more......)

My early Wetzlar M6 meter circuit failed earlier this year, so I guess you can never say it won't happen. Happily, the parts are still available (though not cheap).

Mine bought new are both still fine. Many reports of problems though.
I did have to replace light shields in both a few years ago.

Two of my earliest M6's (1985/86) had problems with the circuit boards. Another two had no problems. I think it was the luck of the draw. Both failed circuit boards were replaced uner warranty. I still have one of these and it has worked fine since and the other I gave to friend and that has had no problems either (apart from the fact that he frequently drops cameras and it looks a bit battered now!).
