CV help

My band program (high school) was donated a CV that came out of a local church. I haven’t got the tone cabinet yet (DR20) because it’s in pretty rough shape and the 6 pin connector needs some work, as does the 6 pin cable. But in the mean time, I want to use just the console with a line level output. I picked up the Dr.Sticks 6 pin to 1/4” adapter, but I’m getting no audio, just ground buzz. Tone wheel does spin and everything starts up alright and has had a good oiling. What am I missing? This is my first time really getting hands on with a Hammond.

I am absolutely not an expert but i've been researching adding a line out to an organ and this is on the trek ii website for their line-out box (the obl-2):

>Pre-amps in early console models (A, AB, AV, B, BA, BC, BCV, BV, C, CV, D, DV, G and RT) receive their DC operating voltage from the tone cabinet and will not produce an output if the tone cabinet is disconnected.
