Anyone know the approximate tuning pin torques of a harpsichord?

I know one thing abour tuning harpsicords.   The pins either feel right or not.   They should move smoothly. Jerk tuning is not an option. They should be tight enough to stay put and not slip.  It is almost impossible to do a stability blow because  nothing hits them. They are plucked. 

So   "tight enough to not slip  and loose enough to not jerk::.  Does that help???
