Karl,
I had the impression that you thought 6 of the 12 tuners were a different size because of this line..."The larger tuners are like 6 little tone-sucking C-clamps..." Your reference to 6 made me think that! 
Dale,
I know that some engines, usually 4 cylinder ones used harmonic balancers to smooth them out. |

I think what Dale is talking about is an arm with a weight on it. This was a common part on certain GM exhaust systems of the eighties, usually bolted on at the catalytic converter. This would prevent a "boom" under cetain conditions. These have been used in other areas, this one just came to mind. |

So the 70's logic of a heavier brass bridge, brass nut, and later ideas like the FATHEAD (still being sold) are all just plain wrong? |

Not necessarally. Every thing has a resonant frequency. Size, mass, and composition all effect it. It is a matter of tuning certain frequencies, or a point above or below those frequencies, in or out. |
