Airdate: November 1984?

Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:

A $24,000 ski cruiser!
A pair of $3,500 coral and diamond earrings!
A 1-week Swiss holiday!

Over $102,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

(The Wheel continues to spin as Pat introduces himself.)

Pat: And now...stop the Wheel!

(The Wheel stops.)

Pat: It's been years, and that "clackety-clack" is starting to drive me crazy out here, but I'll- something I have to deal with, and it'll be right.

Today's contestants:
Sharon Moller: Runs a daycare center, from Salinas, CA
Cathy Albert: Studying computer science, from New Lenox, IL
Rich Harris: Graphic designer and illustrator

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!

The Wheel just didn't cooperate for the others. Sharon and Cathy are both leaving with some nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

Sea Ray Cuddy Cruiser boat ($24,972)

He's gotta get through this final puzzle:

He guesses NO LIMIT, NO HABIT, NO DRAGNET, and some gibberish ...so good-bye, total sweep.
