What tracking force for Shure V15lll?

Last night I pulled my V15111 with MR stylus out of the drawer - havn't mounted it for five years or so, and realized that I did not know what the suggested tracking force was. Any info or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Also add a gram if the cartridge has the brush engaged, like the V15VxMR.

Again, there is no brush on the V15lll.

Correction, I checked on cartridgedb. They don't specifically list the MR version, but the V15 III all seem to be around .75 - 1.25 gm. Sorry

I owned that cartridge back in the 70's, I beleive at that time I got the best results with 1.5-1.75 gram range.
