Recycled Game-Show Sets
chris319:
The set for Tattletales II was new construction.
The FF set had warped in places but they used it anyway when it moved to CBS just as Ray Combs was coming in.

My understanding is the 70s newlywed set was at least in part the same. Years after it concluded the original backdrop curtain was still visible on a Ktla soundstage when I attended some taping, and one of the studio workers contended it was the original set piece.

True. You usually briefly saw the Newlywed Game "forest" backdrop at the beginning of most episodes on Dick Clark's version of It Takes Two, when they panned the audience.

I thought the old Navy Family Fleece Commercials repurposed the combs and Dawson return set pieces?

Weakest Link set used for the Dirty Rotten Cheater Pilot
I believe Whammy used Card Sharks 01 set pieces.

Definitely not--the faceoff podium can't be the real one (Combs coloring with Dawson light-up, and I can tell you first-hand that the lockout lights from Combs' run have never been replaced in the real one). tthe three-digit bank readout on top gives the gameboard away as being a recreation. The contestant desks are DAMN good if they aren't the real ones, but I strongly suspect that the real desks of that design wound up in the dumpster when the Bullseye format was introduced.
