Posted by one of the contestants, an audio recording of 12/27 (cassette recorder in front of the TV, so some background noise) and a video copy of 12/28. The 12/31 episode, a different copy from the one that's been making the rounds already, is also present.

Said contestant has also posted some backstory (including the tapedate, 12/7/79) here.

The Wheel of Fortune History Wiki, created in 2011, is a veritable cornucopia of the show's ups, downs, and all-arounds from its conception in 1973 to the present day, with info and pictures you won't find anywhere else.

Did You Know? - Over 240 BAV members have been winners on Wheel, taking a total of over $8,000,000 out the door. Josh Woo has the stats here.

I found that audio recording for the 12/27 episode more entertaining thanks to the "background noise" commentary, which perhaps is the earliest-known real time chat of any game show episode. You can even make out the no-lettering by one of the watchers for the R1 puzzle.
