How is your dip? Should be very shallow. Make sure thats right first. 
Does that instrument control dip with the jack rail or does it have 
front pins and punchings like a piano? Also, at the risk of being 
flamed by instrument makers and more experienced techs, several 
customers of mine have found help in the Harpsichord Owners Guide (?) 
by Kottick. I dont own it myself and I dont think Id depend on it for 
the best information, but, like Reblitz, it can be very useful for 
someone getting to know the instruments. Frank Hubbards little 
pamphlet on Harpsichord regulation should still be available, maybe 
from Hubbard Harpsichords who can also supply wire and parts, as can 
Zuckermann.
