Hey there BaV! My uncle, Manuel (Manny) Andrade was on the show about 40 years ago, and I've never seen his appearance. I know he had the tape at some point, but he adamantly denied it (presumably because he was mortified about his honest bonus round missolve). To this day, he still claims that he never had the tape If I recall correctly, his episode was during the brief Sajak/Stafford period, and he was a two-day champion. If memory serves, he also won a color TV and a trip to Fiji. I know it's a long shot (especially since tapes from that era are virtually impossible to come by), but any leads would be sincerely appreciated

Sajak/Stafford is actually going to be quite helpful, as that would be only a 10-month window from just before January 1982 to the end of October.
I just saw something in the Wiki that the Bonus Round isn't confirmed to have become permanent with Pat's debut after all, which may also narrow it down a bit (though since it says 1981 here, maybe it was an early episode with the Bonus Round).
It sounds like he did not solve the bonus puzzle if he's hiding a tape, but who can blame someone for that?

He *may* also have been on a San Francisco / Bay Area themed week, if that makes any difference.
