I thought I saw one in passing in a second hand guitar shop recently, I’ll have a scout about and see if it’s still there
They seemed to all be in Les Paul territory, despite the chambering, so around 8-10lb or thereabouts.
I used to own a Japanese Jet that I remember being fairly light but it seems that the Electromatics can have less chambering than the more expensive models. I don't know if the degree of chambering or average weight differs between the Electromatic models.

Like @OilCityPickups G5420, my G5422 is also fully hollow but weighs 8lb, which surprised me. I love it though and it's not too heavy for me.
There was an Electromatic Jet for sale locally that was almost 10.5 lb and I didn't pursue that one!
Well made, nicely finished but quirky and not very controllable electrics - but this is not specific to this model..
Broadtrons do rock but can also have Gretsch 60's sounding vibes if you want.
