Finding 3 WILD cards in 1 turn is VERY hard to do. In fact, with no squares removed beforehand, the odds of doing just that is 1 in 4,567 Very long odds but it was done back on May 4, 1987. What a WILD day that was!

Even finding just two Wild Cards on one turn was very hard. I remember watching the Narz version when it originally aired, and he always stated finding both Wild Cards would result in a $500 bonus. I kept waiting for it to happen - I only remember it happening once during the five years his version was on the air.

The 6 episodes from 1971 in the UCLA Archives appear to be in color, and I know for certain that the finale survives in color at the Museum of Television and Radio in Los Angeles.

(Sorry for the bump, BTW)

The 1971 episodes that UCLA have are actually B&W off-air recordings, from a series of reels recorded on an old reel-to-reel video tape recorder, in a now-obsolete format.

Thanks for correcting me, as the UCLA catalog entry was vague.
