Wear and tear from a set construction originally designed to stay assembled. Same reason Joker was rebuilt.[/quote]
Wait... the original set was built to remain assembled? How'd that work if it was originally sharing stage space at TV City?

I'm just going off of what was told to me, from a former B&E staffer. Perhaps it could roll in and out, but not be subject to constant dismantling.

Did B&E use the exact set from the CBS run on the syndicated version? ISTR hearing somewhere that they built a "new" set for the beginning of the syndie run.
It would make sense where they shot the syndie eps. post-TV City (KCOP?) that they wouldn't have to build/tear down as much, or did TTD & Joker share the same studio?

It was the same set, and the same studio at CBS until 1980. The only changes to the set from CBS to syndie, was the facade on the contestant podium, and the software on the gameboard according to the format.
