If the AI tab on the camera is not broken, you are probably OK - but
don't use non-AI'd lenses on the 6006 (they can be modified by having
part of the rear edge of the aperture ring ground away [the resultant
edge that contacts the body AI tab must be properly located for metering
to be correct]). If the small black tab that sticks out forward of the
camera bayonette mount has been broken, it should be a minor repair to
replace the AI ring.
Hope This Helps
