Extremely rare, only see one come up every few years and the tuner always have issues and the big speakers always have rotted surrounds but due to unusual shape, impossible to find surrounds for. If you luck out and see one, especially in good shape, buy immediately.

The Robot! He sounds good.
Sometime back, I was fortunate enough to find a Pioneer Disco Robo J-7. Some of you can find them in the trash where you live, but here in USA, they are like unicorns or Loch Ness, or Sasquatch... rumored to exist, people talk about them but no one has ever seen one. Well I did, and I bit...

He said 20-23kg, which I can only surmise is the CK-11. The robodisco is nowhere near that heavy. But the CK-11 is like 47#

This one...
If I remember correctly Bobby had one like it and repaired the woofer surrounds on it.

Those series were remarkably modular and different modules could be cobbled together. The main tuner portion shown in that photo is the analog (5) series, not the (7) digital version more commonly associated with the CK-11. But to fit together with the same height as the speakers, you couldn’t just keep adding on or the center tower would be enormous. The example you’ve included has that psychedelic-like display (very rare) that I think can also do echo, but you’ll notice the MC-11 base amplifier is notably missing. It also looks like someone modified those speakers by removing the original flat woofer (probably due to problems locating a refoam solution) and replaced it with a rectangular plate and small coaxial drivers.
