Default Mono cassette head: Advice needed

I have an old Sharp MZ80k computer (from the late 70's) which
unfortunately needs the mono head replaced in it's built in cassette
deck.
I have found a place online that sells mono heads, but they come in
different OHM ratings, from 60 OHMS to 400 OHMS. Unfortunately I have
not been able to find out any specific info on the original head
(labeled KA30 - OE030). And using my multimeter on the dead head
gives
me no reading what so ever.
I didn't realize heads came in different ratings, so now I'm stuck. I
was wondering if anyone here would have any advice for me.


There's usually a head tuning cap connected to the head to help the HF
end. If there is and you give the value it might be possible to make an
educated guess.
