Anyone familiar with the Kenwood KD 750 turntable?



I am looking at a Kenwood KD750 turntable (circa 1978-1982) that is in near perfect condition, but can't find any information on this TT. I tried searching the forums and Google to no avail. I do know it has a direct drive and is fitted with the stock arm and no cartridge. The whole TT is very heavy and the base is Rosewood. I wonder if it might be similar to the Technics SL-1200mk.

Thank you for any information.
