K11 is very similar to K9 but with all the alterations needed to accommodate the new 20AX tube. They were wonderful sets and despite they are now more than 35 year old they still have incredibly good pictures. K12 and K12Z were even more popular but in my opinion not so reliable. Bang & Olufsen is one of my favorite brands. Their sets are incredibly reliable and well done. Unfortunately the model you hope to get has just the appearance of a real Bang & Olufsen. The chassis should be the F11 or F14 from Nordmende. At the time the MX range was introduced they had not a suitable chassis to fit in that cabinet so they adopted the compact Nordmende-Thomson chassis. They altered it to make it work with B&O remote (beolink 1000/beovision video terminal) but the results were not so good in terms of reliability. MX1500 (the only portable B&O has never made) has instead a Philips (anubis?)chassis. If you're searching for real B&O sets remember that the only not completely genuine B&O are the following models:M20,MX1500,MX2000,MX3000,MX4500,MX5000,MS50 00,ME6000,LE6000.
The older models are all original B&O as from MX5500 ahead. You recognize "fake" B&O if have a look at the back. In non B&O models the scart socket is placed horizontally. In original models you have two scart sockets placed diagonally and also din connectors for motorized stand, powerlink connections and y/c connector.

beautifull collection !!!!!!
