Besides what I wanted earlier in the thread, I would want the two isolation booths from 21. They would look great near the pool as a place for guests to change into their swimsuits.

Here's one no one's thought of: how about the big computer from $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime?

/the thing would be murder to try and type on, especially since I'd keep hitting the Stinger

I have to pick one, huh?

If I have to pick one...give me the key display from the Bergeron Squares. It would be the most useful for me, probably.

I'll take the old Shell Game desk. Perfect mini-bar ^_^

And because of the glare of the studio lights, they'll never know who's watching. Sweet deal all the way around.

Not a set piece per se, but a check from 'Check Game'. Maybe a slip or two from the "Punchboard".

One good set piece would be a Solari split-flap numerical display that is up for bids on eBay's Austrian website [in German, but with some English] for $285.

According to larger pictures, this display was made not by Solari di Udine out of Italy, but by an apparently now-non-existent firm called Signaltron of East Elmhurst, NY [in the NYC borough of Queens]. Since a lot of New York City-based game shows in the 1960's and '70s used split-flaps, they probably bought a lot of those old ST-15's from Signaltron.

Still, $285 is a great price for a piece of vintage game show scoring/timing.

Option two: one trilon from the old Wheel puzzleboard (with "T" on one side).

Historically, they need to be replaced after seven years.

I still want to say at least a slide from the PYL board. Or a whammy pop-up card. Those would be sweet...

Combs Feud face-off podium, probably.

If nothing else, it could double as a half-decent end table.
