Re: Good/bad years for E11?

The E11 to avoid is the E11 France. If the France (or E11) part of the logo is worn... maybe it has Made in France stamped somewhere... not sure.

Before that was the E11 made in Germany (by Schreiber) which is fine. It only says E11 but usually has Made in Germany on the back. After that they changed to the E12F (which is about the same as the E11 France but with the issue fixed).

Maybe worth mentioning that the E11 France was a huge release, with Buffet having a website just for that model and advertising the non-threaded posts as an advantage (easy to repair, etc.).
In reality it was a major design flaw, so many complaints, and after just a few years they discontinued it and removed any mention of it they could (the website, etc.).
