If you assume the effective shutter time for the iconoscope was 1/60 second, and lighting of 1800 foot candles, and also guessing that the max lens aperture was f/4, this calculates to an equivalent film speed of ASA/ISO 14. The Technicolor process started with an equivalent ISO rating of about 5.

This was later increased with improved film stock and eventually with dichroic mirrors in the optics, but it's not clear from what i can find on the web if it got much beyond ISO 25 or so.
