[Premium-Rx] obscure WJ connector

Hi,
I'm sneaking in here on topic by virtue of the HFE option (HF extension) on
one of my WJ-8618B series receivers. I have a dopey problem, which need
only engage those who are familiar with this little piece: in the
multi-module 2nd LO section of the receivers, each module is enclosed in a
slide-into-its-slot shielded boxlet. LO's, IF's, etc enter/exit the modules
through little right angle chassis-mount coaxial connectors. I'm not sure
of the species (it's not SMA or SMB... it's about 75% that scale). Made by
Applied Engineering Company, a Division of Samarius, Inc, (now gone from
this earth) according to the mfg code cross ref in the manual.
In any case, I have a situation in which a tightened cable connector is now
perma-stuck on the connector, as the central threaded piece that receives
the cable has broken loose from the body of the chassis mount. While still
passing RF at spec'd levels, I doubt that will last forever...the tightened
cable can be spun and there is a very slight wobble in the assembly. My
goal: replace the connector...my problem...where do I find one? It
occurred to me someone out there may either have a connector or have the
remains of a module carcass from which said connector could be recovered in
a rip & strip operation.
Any body thus endowed?
best regards
John Collins
