Someone at the Game Show Forum pointed out how the official Getty Images website has a whole bunch of pictures from the 1969-74 Sale of the Century. I, being curious, searched for Wheel...and this is what I found, among others:
* A promotional shot from the 1950s Wheel, with Todd Russell standing next to a Jackpot Wheel.
** Possibly related (they use the same logo) are these two shots done by Xavier Bonghi of some guy next to a Wheel showing the first 25 letters of the alphabet going clockwise. Interestingly, each letter has a colored bar above it, similar to the Shopper's Bazaar Wheel.
* Some shots of Susan:
** Near the four-line board, apparently during a round. Beautiful shot.
** Next to Pat, likely 1982.
** In an outfit eerily similar to that worn by Vanna in a certain 1988 TV movie.
* Several wide shots of the contestant area:
** Christmas episode circa 1982-83.
** Sometime between February and October 1984. Looks like a College Week, based on the outfits.
** Same timeframe, different episode. This one is more a shot of the turntable, with the logo in the center of the shot. (To be honest, the thing looks like artwork.)
** Circa 1985, looks like a College Week based on the players' outfits.
* Publicity shots of Vanna and Bob Goen: one, two, three of 'em (dated May 2, 1991).
* From an NFL Players Week, Vanna poses with a San Diego Chargers guy who looks a bit like Rolf.
* Also, because I thought it looked cool, a frosted-glass King World logo (and here's the logo in the back of that shot).
* And because I wanted to find something with Chuck (to no avail, even under "Wollery"), here he is at a 2003 "Game Show Network Hall of Lame Karaoke Competition".
