Did you know it was faulty when you bought it? If not I'd take it back rather than fix it. It doesn't sound as though it was well card for by previous owner.

It looks like the two vertical rows on each header are duplicates of each other, so I assume the remaining pin will give -12v if I plug a module's ribbon cable to it?

The missing -12V pin should be no problem as each pin is available twice.
You may order a new external PSU from the Doepfer representative in your
country. Replacing or bypassing the switch is also an option but has to be
carried out by qualified personnel only. Otherwise there is danger to life !

Any power supply with the corresponding specs (14-16V AC / min. 2.5A) and a
suitable connector will work. Pay attention that AC is required (not DC).
