Micro Seiki probably influenced the design of the L07D--Micro Seiki influenced the design of many Japanese turntables during that time. The L07D (31 kg; platter 5.5 kg) is still lighter than the Micro Seiki BL-111 (36 kg; platter 10 kg). That said, both heavyweights.

However, there was a prototype Kenwood (R-6197) that apparently weighed 150kg. I have not been able to find any images of it online.
