Here's an early S13 episode uploaded by Tracy. The airdate appears to be Thursday 9/21/95 as news teasers during the commercial breaks mention the death of Minnesota governor Rudy Perpich which happened that same day and there are two remaining BR prizes. A couple other notes about this episode below... The puzzle in the thumbnail should be familiar. 
- A Clue puzzle describes a person, suggesting that Who Is It? had not been introduced yet. Of course, the bonus is still only $500.
- R2 shows why it was better to save Double Play for a known multiple and not to always use it as soon as you get it...
- Pat's pre-R4 spiel has the camera focus on the R4 prize instead of $5K, though the prize is not described.
- The R4 prize goes over the blue $200 and not the red $300, possibly because the R2 prize had been picked up by this point.
- The $10K is removed during the break where they load in the R5 puzzle, as it starts with Speed-Up. Was this normal practice in S12-13?
- Interesting overhead shot at 08:15. I'm assuming that random, delayed audience gasp after the Wheel stopped was canned.
