Anti-skate weight replacement for Yamaha YP-701

I have resurrected an old Yamaha YP-701 turntable but over the years the anti-skating weight has gone missing. The anti-skating mechanism is the type where a weight is attached to an anti-skating shaft, which applies a tracking force of between 1 gram and 3 grams depending on where on the shaft the weight thread is attached.
Does anyone know what weight in grams I should use as a replacement anti-skating weight? (I thought maybe it should be 3 grams to match the max tracking force of the mechanism??).
Thanks
