Yes,  I found on the W-J history page that  W-J "completed its third 
acquisition of California-based RELCOM, a closely-held manufacturer of 
precision components such as mixers, frequency converters, transformers, 
and switches"  - - in 1970.

Thanks for the numerous replies, and to Geoff and Jerry for taking the 
time to scan the datasheets for me. I've uploaded some photos of the ACL 
receiver, tuning unit, and the mixer and other modules for anyone who'd 
like to take a look:

I've got proper LO injection but can't get a peep on the output of the 
mixer, so I'm pretty sure it's bad.  I was figuring I'd have to 
substitute something from Mini Circuits or the like, but it sounds like 
WJ continued producing these mixers for some time after the acquisition 
of Relcom and I hope to obtain a direct replacement.

This may be a sub-premium receiver but I definitely came to the right 
place for information!  Thanks all.

73, Bob W9RAN
