Wrong number. Go back and find something that starts with B91, B61, B41 for low band old type radio.
Any of the newer radios might have almost anything for a model number, but should start with a "B". If the first letter is a "D", then it is a desktop model.

The second digit should be the TX power out. Third digit should be frequency band. Like "1" for 30 to 50
MHz. A "3" would be VHF or 150 to 174 MHZ. If you find a "4" then it is a UHF range.

That looks like maybe a Micor cabinet. Need a 2135 key to open the panels. Should
have a thin metal strip riveted to the top back or front with the model and serial
number. Some times it is on the side by the panel where the cables enter the cabinet.

Don't drop the panels on the floor. The plastic gets brittle over time and you will bust
off the small tabs that hold on the vents.

Just FYI, it could be a later model unit than micor vintage. I have had MSF5000's in the same type housing. Also, you never know what has been put in a particular repeater cabinet over the years.

The model number is probably C55 WNB0107A. This is an old Gemini 800 MHz Data station. It's not worth very much and can't be used for too much other than old MDC4800 data protocol.
I hope that helps.
