.75 - 1.5grams. Set both tracking force and anti skating to the same value. Usually a good place to start is in the middle of the range, so 1 gram.

By weight, I assume you're referring to the VTF (tracking force). This is determined by the stylus (needle), not by the cartridge. If yours has the original stylus then the VTF range is 0.75 to 1.5 grams. Somewhere in the 1.1-1.2g range would be a good starting point.
If yours does not have the original stylus, then you'll need to track down which stylus you do have and then find its VTF range.
To start with, set the anti-skate to the same value as the VTF. The optimum anti-skate setting may be a bit higher or lower than this, but without a test record or a lot of experimentation you won't be able to do much better than going with the old "VTF = anti-skate" suggestion.
