15 or 20 years ago I found a WM-6 in a thrift store complete with a set of golden lion tubes for $1.50 (that's right one dollar and 50 cents!). I flipped it for $300 and thought I had done extremely well. That was before I had started working on and restoring gear and before there was so much info on the web. I did not find out until several years later how rare they are and how special. Been kicking myself ever since. The one that got away, after I landed it!
Of course the flip side is the second one would have cost me quite a bit more, but it probably would have been worth it.
Follow Ups:
Lol...that is about what I paid for each of mine. They were not tubed IIRC. Running Type III KT90 sourced from Jim( from the end of their decent production), and have a set of Type II's waiting as replacements. I'll not be parting with them.
cheers,

Friend, I would not hurt thee for the world...but thou art standing where I am about to shoot.
Which the $300 or the buck fifty? I would truly love to hear a pair in stereo.
nah...the $300. I would have been willing to spend more( and thus get the second quicker ), if I only paid $1.50 for the first...:)
