Yeah, Cliff Wanzer was a ham in the Spokane area.  I think that was a 
T-network tuner modeled on the Ultimate Transmatch article in QST.

I bought my Icon 751 from his dealership when it was still in business.  He 
was a real nice dude.

Subject: My Favorite Manual Tuner Was


Back in the late seventies, I owned a roller inductor 3 KW tuner called a
Wonzer, although I believe it was spelled, Wanzer, Z4 manual tuner.  Man, I
could tune absolutely anything.  I tuned once a 3 foot piece of coax laying
on my desk and talked to a guy across town.  I sure miss that tuner.  I made
the mistake of selling it to a guy years ago but it was the best tuner I
ever owned.

Phil.
