Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A Dicker & Dicker full-length coat and Antarctic expedition!
A Jeep pickup and a speed boat!
A custom Modena classic convertible!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $231,000 just waiting to be won on...

Thanks a lot, Roland. You just gave away the access code to the area where we've been keeping a Berkline Alpine living room group with brass coffee table and étagère (labeled ROOM) worth $6,799.

One of these spaces will be one-upped by a $2,500 space, and you'll never know what used to be there.

Roland solves FREDDY AND AUTOMOBILE FENDER.

Pat: I've always wanted to ask someone involved in the postal service. Is Mr. Zip a real guy, or is that just a character?

Roland: Mr. Zip is a real guy.

Pat: Okay, good. I did want to know.

Pat: So is Merv Griffin, by the way.

Steve	Sandy	Roland
	$1,150	$3,650

While you were gone, Mr. Zip paid a visit. What Pat didn't say is that he delivered us a $3,500 space.

This prize isn't going anywhere until it finds somewhere to live, so try to win a Van Cleef & Arpels gift certificate featuring an 18-karat gold, black onyx, and diamond pin (labeled PIN) worth $9,700.

Steve will have another run of the Wheel, and he'll try to call dibs on the $5,000 space.
