Tracking force MC15 Super?

Just picked up a little-used Ortofon MC15 Super off eBay - it's a Mk1 and doesn't have any instructions. Sounds quite sweet though and rather different to the Denon - it'll be handy as a spare and/or be worth a few bob at trade-in time.

Bit of a long shot though - does anyone know of the recommended tracking force for this cartridge?? The Mk2 uses a fine line tip and tracks at a squidge over 2g but I believe the older one has an elliptical and may well use a lower weight. I'm running at 1.9 to be on the safe side for the moment.

Thanks for any info.

 

No info on the MC15 but the mc10 super was around 1.5g and the MC 20 1.8g for the vande hul tipped one.....info from HiFi choice TT and Cart's 1987 edition.

 

Thanks - reckon that makes sense. Looking at the latest Ortofon range it looks as though it's just the really recent stuff that needs a heavier setting.

It's quite susprising how good this cartridge sounds when fitted to a good arm/tt - especially considering its age.
