Here's an offscreen clip of a 1980-81 episode (?/Mary/?) with a really excited contestant.

Can't hardly blame her for her excitement... wasn't a score like hers almost exceedingly rare in the Woolery years (and almost a guaranteed win if someone got that far ahead)?

^ It was rare. I don't know of any 5-digit scores during his era.

This is likely from early 1980, but could be from as early as late 1979. The gold $150 increased to $250 around May, 1980.
