Old Wulfsberg

Our agency has an old Wulfsberg WMC-100 VHF FM Transceiver that was operational up until the time that an uneducated fool removed it from a vehicle. You may ask why have it, but it helped out during the hurricanes when we were deployed to another state.
Someone else is now trying to install it in a response trailer and, again, does not know what they are doing.
Anyone out there have a manual, or an idea, for installation/operation of this dinosaur?
Wulfsberg's chief packrat of all things ancient is not available until late next week, and even then, not sure if they can help.

What do you mean why have it, front panel frequency selection, 75 watts excellent receiver with a tight tracking pre-selector. all set up as a land mobile package. You cannot crunch the front end of the RT in it either even with a couple of watts directly into the front end by mistake.
I can check and see If I have one of the original manuals here in the engineering lab. I know I have one at home.
I rescued a lot of the older manuals for the FlexCom I line when we transistioned back from King Radio/Allied Signal back in 1998 to Northern AZ.
The King Radio/Allied Signal folks were tossing everything and anything Wulfsberg related including non-Wulfsberg stuff like motorola RIB boxes, complete RT systems, all of which I saved from the landfill.
It was my part of ROHS before the Europeans even thought of it.
Of course that was one of the few times where Olathe dumpster diving proved usefull.
I have one of the original engineering prototypes, model #3 at home.
There are only 3 of us old time RF gurus who are still around here. Most are now digital FPGA types who have no
clue as to what RF is.

I found my manual for the WMC-100.
Describe the install problem and I'll try and walk you thru it.
First what control head do you have ?
Is it one of the fixed channel C-100 heads or the thumb wheel selectable C-962/C-722 heads. Then we can figure out if anything is missing.
I hope the brute who removed the radio didn't cut the control cables, please tell me he didn't because they are hard to rewire.
There are no more spares of these control cables left so if they were cut you'll need to fix it of course, but we can do this, just tell me what condition everything is in.

I had my marketing guru leave you a voice mail on your work number so we can get you up and running.

Thanks Mike,
I got your message and will call you tomorrow when I put my eyes on it. Luckily, I have a second WMC-100 here at my office, that I will take with me in case they cut anything.
Thanks again.
