If the show had stuck to the 1975 layout for its Wheel templates, although updating the colors and dollar values, as well as keeping the second Lose A Turn but leaving the Round 2 Bankrupts where they are, this is a possibility. Additionally, when switched over to play-for-cash, there would still be a break after Round 1.
Buy A Vowel would be replaced with an optional wedge (take a Free Vowel or call a consonant at face value), thus avoiding any penalty. However, it would be removed after Round 2.
Some of the lower dollar values (and at some point the top-dollar values) might be much higher thanks to inflation.
I should note that some of the special wedges wouldn't necessarily be here, but if they were, it might look like this. As for the Mystery Wedges in Round 1, the prize would generally be a trip, and the "bribe" would be $300 per letter.
As is the case for my older templates, this would assume the retirement/non-existence of the Prize Puzzle and Free Play.
Like my previous tables, these are in counter-clockwise order.

The reason it's $1,200 instead of $1,250 it to avoid having three adjacent $x50 spaces.
If shopping was still used, Round 2 would have a pink $500 instead of a $2,500. In Round 3 (with no Jackpot wedge), the $5,000 space would be on $2,000 instead of the orange $200. The only "removable" wedge would be the usual Round 2 prize, which would go on the orange $200.
