Moog Minitaur quiet

I just bought a used Minitaur and it seems to be extremely quiet.

I am using a 1/4” TS cable (have tried TRS cables too), I’ve tried sending value 127 to CC 7 (using a Arturia Keystep pro connected with midi to do that with knob 1…I can adjust the volume with it but does not yet loud even with it up to 127)
I have it connected to my ar12c mixer (but even plugging headphones directly into it is even quieter than that)

I have opened it to make sure the ribbon was connected tight (It appears to be and I’ve pressed it in to double check and there is no looseness or anything). Everything else looks fine as well, though tbh I wouldn’t know really if anything didn’t look fine unless it as quite obviously broken or something.

I’ve done a factory reset, balanced the pots, used a default init patch, etc etc and nothing seems to change the volume level.

I’ve got a voltage meter on the way, but tbh I’ve never used one and not even sure what to check with it and what not. Also have contact spray on the way, and I’m assuming I’d try that on the audio output jack and volume pot.

Any tips, advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
