If you could have one game show set piece...

[tvmitch]

I'd go for an eggcrate display of any size. The Perry CS Money Cards would do just fine.

I also wouldn't mind having the sideways Showcase Showdown wheel from 30-odd years ago. That would fit in the living room.

How 'bout the three-sided Now You See It board?  It'd be a little large for the average living room, no doubt, but replace one side with a flat-screen TV, another with a big oil painting...

...and a MAME system on the third. I like the cut of your jib.

I'm sure none of us know the answer to this, but did the ol' Rainbow Wheel get recycled as the MG Star Wheel?  The two look awfully similar.

[chris319]

No, the MG Star Wheel was much larger.

Well...I guess if someone's gonna know....

Thanks for the clarification.

I dunno, wouldn't you want to use the big flat-screen for the MAME deal, and leave the big honkin' neon "Now You See It" out there where it can be, y'know, seen?

Thanks for the kind words, but don't let it get around.  Everybody'll want a cut.

Speaking of which, I'd also like the ginormous MG '90 Star Wheel.

Well, I was thinkin' build the control panel into it. I dunno. I was inspired by the MAME setups I've seen with multiple rotating control panels.

I can't get the multi-quote to work, so:

The NYSI board would be nice, but I'd rather have the FF board.
Instead of an eggcrate, I'd like one of the NY Pyramid desks with the Solari display. (The person who wanted the screen may remove it at our mutual convenience.)

In the A/V Clips board, we were having a discussion about computer graphics vs. tangible moving pieces on a set; hence, this hypothetical question:

If you could own one set piece from any game show, past or present, what would it be?

Chris Lemon started this topic back on ATGS in December of 2001. With the new shows that have come out since then; I'll ask it again:
"If you could own a couple pieces of game show memorabilia what would it be"?[/quote]
1) A pair of Showdown dice.
2) The birthday cake plunger from The Money Maze (rung after completing the $10,000 Dash, used in the series but not in the pilot).
3) The Jeopardy! logo sign over either the contestants or the board from the 1964-75 run.[/quote]

[TimK2003]

The 1970's era Gambit bonus board would look good along a rec-room wall.

[Joe Mello]

Superball! would be nice.  In the same vein, didn't Make the Grade make use of Skee-ball for their stunts or am I just horribly hallucinating?

In that doesn't work, I'll just take the Cash Cab.

They did...IIRC, color-coded for each contestant.

The game board from TTD... complete with the Apple ][s and the Altair to run it.  It'll make a great conversation piece.
[/quote]
I'm sure over the years Allen Koss and some stagehands had some choice conversations about it: "Get that &^%$#@! piece of %$#@!@#$% out of here, and take your *&^%$# categories with you!"
[/quote]
I imagine that thing had to be a bitch to hook up and tear down.  Just the cables alone would want me to pull my hair out, I'm sure.

Here's a place that could make a pretty good replica...
