In a basement in south central Wisconsin, amidst a pile of crappy racquets, I found one of these with original head cover in nearly mint condition (looks like it was played with about 3 times). Still had its Gamma Gut strings from July 1988. The owner was about to send this to Goodwill so the price was perfect....FREE.

Played with it tonight with the old gut, which still had its tension. Very cool experience. Doesn't really feel as heavy as 12.6 oz and the frame had lots of power.

I've strung the frame up with a poly/multifilament hybrid (MSV 1.10 mains @53 and Tecnifibre Multifeel crosses @56). Incredibly solid frame with great feel. You can really rock the ball. The small head is a bit of a trick to master, especially on volleys and serves. Also, I find that I have a bit less control. Can't tell if that is from frame flex or me being a bit behind the ball on shots. Anyone else out there still play with a Wilson 6.0 85?
