Br-600 microphone issues

Hi all, I recently purchased a used Br-600 8track. Both the onboard mics and my external microphone are recording very low. They can’t get over 0dbs. Is anyone familiar with this issue before I try taking it apart myself?
I had one of these when I was a kid and O definitely remember being able to record much louder than this. Maybe there’s a bunch of dust inside the one I bought and it needs to be cleaned? Or maybe some sort of system setting that I need to reset?
Any help welcome!

Welcome ! I don't use a 600, so I'm just going over the basics. Make sure you use the Input Sensitivity knobs for Mics 1/2 to set your input levels - not the track fader. Sing into the mic as you will when recording, increasing the input until the light flickers and then maybe back the input down a hair. That's all I got.
 
Yeah I’ve done this. Even with the mic sensitivity and recording level knobs turned all the way up it still records at very low volumes.
Recording in stereo the left mic/ear is even quiet than the right mic/ear
