Some things about this don't pass the smell test, about it airing outside of Ohio or even airing at all...
* The wheel. A lot of small amounts. I can't see stations or viewers getting worked up over a top dollar value of $100 when the daytime show's smallest top dollar value ranged from $750 to $2000.
* The gaudiness of the wheel. It looks like something you'd see at a carnival, not something to be shown to a national audience.
* No prizes, based on those pictures. Cash prizes only, maybe? Why offer cash only when the daytime show and the syndicated offering both have shopping?
* The lack of a dress code. Another something that might turn off viewers watching a new show, or at least a new version of an existing show.
* The generic displays and game board.
This screams promotional opportunity to promote a show debuting in Fall 1983 (and what better place to do that than at one of the most-attended, if not the most attended state fair?)
If this indeed aired, you'd think someone somewhere would be able to produce some video, whether it is someone with access to Sony's properties (winc winc) or someone who works/-ed for WBNS.
