Sorry to resurrect a semi-older topic, but I found the website the original poster was referring to.  This site does feature a few more configurations than are in that Yahoo Photos folder and a corrected version of the Pilot Round 1 wheel.

Scroll down to near the bottom.

Too bad the wheel configs are the only links that work. I'd kind of like to see the other stuff.

Sorry to bump again, and especially for such an esoteric question...

Pre-96, the wedges were brought out in halves of the wheel, as discussed somewhere in this thread. For rounds 2 and 3 (daytime), it's easy to see where the split is because one half is used in both rounds. Not so easy for R1. So where was the split in halves of the R1 wheel? (If possible, referencing the 86 daytime layout.)

Having watched the Wheel marathon on GSN the other day, I noticed a pretty pronounced seam between the 400 and the 500 on the 200-300-400-500 part of the wheel.  I don't know if that's where this 'split' was, but it seems like the logical place to me.

It seems logical to me too, not necessarily because of the placement in the values, but because it fits the pattern in the other two rounds of having the one Bankrupt on one half, and the LAT and the other extra wedge (FS or Bankrupt) on the other half.

Then again, the top dollar is on the LAT/BR side in rounds 2 and 3, while it's on the BR side in round 1.

Then again again, maybe I'm looking way too much into it. Yeah, I think I'll go with that option.

Was going back through this thread, and a few gems caught my eye:

[quote name=\'Jimmy Owen\' post=\'156667\' date=\'Jul 4 2007, 04:57 PM\']Wheel would be equally appealing to me if they gave away a million dollars or 10 cents.  That is, not very appealing.[/quote]
[quote name=\'Steve Gavazzi\' post=\'157142\' date=\'Jul 10 2007, 05:35 PM\'](And at the start of Round 4, he pointed out that "there is now a million-dollar space on the wheel." :-)[/quote]
My how things change :-þ

Except now the Million-Dollar space is on the wheel every round BUT Round 4.  :P
