Greetings, 
   I have seen model A pianos with smaller whippens than current production, 
so, that could be a source of problems. Looking at the picture, I have some 
ideas.   
1.  there is no way the jack should be that far from the knuckle and the 
design does not call for the drop screw to be barely touching the leather at its 
edge. Whippen looks out of place. 
2.  Since I suspect the whippen is located too far proximal, I would like to 
know how the jack tails line up
3.  Does all the capstan contact occur above the "magic line"?
4.  When the blow is set at least at 1 3/4 and you have .390" keydip, is 
there a lot of aftertouch? 
Wondering
