I don't have a M6 (yet! <g>), but I'm pretty sure it (my Winder) wouldn't work based on the above info. I think the one forsale on e-bay would have worked with a M6 according to the serial number. I think the numbers might be transposed here "from serial 31035 all" in the e-mail you received, maybe should be 10335?, which would be pretty close to what Bower says.

Hi group- Ok, why, I don't know- but I'm feeling like I want a winder for my M6 (yes, I have a Rapidwinder- shut up!) My questions revolve around the M4-2 winder. According to Matheson *some* M4-2 winders have #14 400 (will work with M6, M4-P) and some are #14 414 (which will NOT work with M4-P and M6) and BOTH share the battery pack #14 227.... ok? Now- additional confusing information is: > >Hello Bob: In case you decide to bid on the winder...the box is marked >code # 14 400 and the winder works fine on my M6 and my M4-2. A little >note packed inside the box with the winder reads "from serial 31035 all >M4-2 winders code # 14 214 are identical with code #14 400. The serial # >of this winder is #14032 and it is engraved on the lock. The battery pack >does read # 14 227.
