Donated to the Strong Museum

[Mr. Matté]

One point of clarification: The article says that the Plinko sign was used from 1998 to 2022. Is this referring to the plexiglass top of the game board or the "Plinko Sign" on the turntable with the slats and flipped around to $25/$50,000?

According to their online collection, the turntable sign.

Indeed.  It feels a bit weird to look at some of their smaller items and saying... "huh, I got one of those."

I'm very excited to see all of this on display, doubly so for the $ale lectern. Really thankful that people had the foresight to preserve so many of these props.

That show just set and shot the game at a different angle, which highlighted the depth of it.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected

But did you suspect? Cause...

If memory serves, the Davidson version used an even bigger version of the prop.

You're allowed to be wrong. It's okay to be wrong sometimes.

But did you suspect?

Yes, I did. I wasn't going to get into the part where I dug up some screencaps before making that post, but I couldn't find the same angle in both sets, so I prefaced with, "If memory serves..." going on what I remembered reading years ago, but in this case, it did not serve.

TNPIR 94 used a repurposed Double Prices prop for the Magic # reveal on a few occasions and I have the art card that they put in the middle of the 2 prices that they superimposed the Magic # Eggcrate readout on. It's a card stock piece with the TNPIR 94 logo on it. I acquired it somehow years and years ago and never knew what it was used for until seeing a video on YouTube one day because most of the time the number was over top of it and you never saw the logo, only in certain shots.
