I don't believe that they are the original doors from 1972... if I'm not mistaken, they've been rebuilt several times since.

Per G-R.net, these would be the doors that were used first for the Davidson version, then got a new paint job and were put into service on the Barker show when the originals started to stick.

Are you talking about the frames or the door panels?

The door panels. Surely they'd wear out over time due to use and handling, right? I'm sure the frames themselves haven't been changed since they came off Don Roberts' drawing board.

I was curious about the power and weight of the sign. FWIW, Here's what they said.

Hi there! The item draws too much power for a regular wall outlet, but the donor would recommend to get a consultation with an electrical contractor if you were interested in lighting this up! Thanks for your question!

Hi there! This sign weighs approximately 600 pounds. Thanks!
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS
