What's Pat Sajak charging for puctuation these days?

Uh, getting back to this, they used two different buzzers on Sharks. The one on the Money Cards was louder and harsher than the one in the main game (because the stakes were higher?). Scrabble also used two similar buzzers.

Horns? Early on, if not from day one. That cue was created for Price, which is why they're "now used" there. On CBS, Sharks used Price's car music in addition to its "loser" horns.

Clips: Google is your friend.

I think the show GSN aired yesterday was the first CS usage of the horns. I did see a few busts before then, and they just used the buzzer.

You sure about SCRABBLE?  I do know the Perry CS "Money Cards Bust" buzzer was used on SCRABBLE but I don't recall SCRABBLE using any other buzzer concurrently.

One other NBC show that I do remember using two buzzers was HIGH ROLLERS (one if you busted on the dice, another in the rare occurence that no one rang in on a question).

For the early part of the run, they used a different buzzer in the main game. At what point did this change?

As I remember it, there was one buzzer on Scrabble for a wrong answer and another for running out of time in the Sprint round. They both sounded similar.

The harsher-sounding buzzer is commonly known as a "claxon".

The "Claxon", as Chris mentioned earlier, was used not only on Card Sharks and Scrabble, but was also used on Hit Man, Time Machine, Match Game-Hollywood Squares hour, and I believe Wordplay.

Some people don't like the sound, but I'll take it over the Price Is Right buzzer anyday.  ;)

The Claxon is normally accompanied by NBC's bell which was also used on Sharks and Scrabble.


I'll post this in the future, but as soon as I figure out how to fine-tune the soundwave, I will be distributing the high-pitched bell that was used on $ale of the Century and Jeopardy! 78 for those who want it... and maybe perhaps use it on future game show PC games.

I wouldn't mind hearing a clean copy of the aforementioned buzzer as well...but I have heard they used it on Wordplay. Never seen it, so not sure.

And I know DJDustman will probably be interested in the SOTC bell---he runs the SOTC game over at PYLP Studios. [I'll bet Dsmith is glad I'm plugging his place!]

And whenever this "klaxon" [actual spelling] stopped ringing, you could hear a door slam.

I got the bell from "Jeopardy 78" but its only a second and a half long... at least I got the first second and a half of it clean-cut.  The actual sound I think about two to three seconds in duration.  I have the SOTC wrong answer buzzer as well as the fame game sound too. The ring-in sound I don't have however.

For those who are wondering... the high pitch bell was also used not only on J!78 and $OTC, but was used on Hit Man (mixed in with the Super Password word reveal sound), and briefly on Hot Potato and the John Davidson version of Hollywood Squares when it was produced briefly in Burbank at NBC.

In any event, drop me a line at robdon1967@yahoo.com and I will pass the sound to you.
