There were quite a few K11 variations out here, some almost identical to yours. From memory the full sized console cabinets were assembled here, but the chassis were imported. There were also some Kriesler sets in different style cabinets that used Philips chassis, but those were probably K9s.
I know of a few other old color sets around here that are still in use, but those are the ones that just keep going and going. There's a a GE set with click tuner sitting up on a wall bracket with an Sharp top loading VCR in a nearby warehouse. It hasn't come down off that bracket in years, gets probably 10 hours use a week and still has a damn good picture.
Other than collectors I don't know of any B&W sets still in use. The last time I saw a B&W set still in use it was a cheapo 12" set in a factory lunch room back in 96. There were at least a dozen such sets throughout the place that were used as process control monitors, but this one has been "borrowed" and had the tuner reconnected.
Most of the remaining shops around here would look at you stupid if you brought a B&W set in, especially if it had tubes in it.
