Are you referring to a freewheel or a cassette? A six speed freewheel should not be hard to find, my LBS stocks them, new Shimano. If its a freewheel, try a different LBS or look on-line.
A six speed cassette is quite hard to come by.

Try eBay; put "freewheel 6" into the search box. Typical price will be 7-15 bucks. And you don't need a Shimano, although they're real common ... Suntour was prominent then, and Sachs too.
And by the way, if it's 6-speed Shimano 600, it's not a cassette, but a threaded freewheel ...

Will you be ready to ride somewhere in the area in July? August?

+1, you beat me to it! DongDong, determine if you have a freewheel or a cassette. If it's a cassette, contact mainducoyote because these things are rare.

My bad ... I should have remembered that, because I've got a 6-speed Dura Ace cassette from 1982 on one of my bikes ...
That said, I'll bet that it's a freewheel.

Hey Robbie, I was cleared to get back on the bikes WAY ahead of schedule. The doc says I set some sort of record for recovery from rotator cuff surgery. I just got back on the bikes last weekend, but only road, no mountain biking for another 2 months at least. My road rides are very small distances and no speed. The bones still hurt where they cut and polished. But I should be up to some decent short rides, like 25 miles by July certainly by August.
Thanks for asking.

And DongDong, I've got a 6-speed cluster that slides onto Shimano splines if you need one. Perhaps we can trade something or other.
