We just got this really cool console and everything works, except the volume is very, very quiet when turned up all the way. We opened up the back to take a look at wires, can't figure anything out. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. The stereo and turntable work fine.
THANKS! Any ideas are appreciated

This is usually one of these:
- Bad pickup cartridge. Ceramic and crystal cartridges go bad over time due to water absorption. Try connecting another audio source to the amp.
- Muting switch. They used mica blade separators on the original Collaro Conquest. These dry out, and crumble, leaving the pickup muted. I replaced them with plastic guitar picks on mine.
- Bad preamp tube.
