old broadcast spreader - settings help!

I was getting ready to spread some fungicide on our lawn, but I need help with determining what setting to put it at. The bag says 2 - 3.5 lbs/1000 ft, and then has the appropriate setting chart for a couple of brands of spreaders. Ours, of course, is not one of them.

It's one we got at a garage sale, and the only brand name it has on it is 'fertilome'. The gauge goes from 0 - 30. It's a rotary broadcast type.

I found one chart that seems to indicate a setting of 17 for the 3 lb rate, but thought I'd check in with RMG'ers to see if anyone out there could give me some advice!

Thanks,

Marj
