classic wheel watching

During a Wheel of Fortune discussion at quiz night last week, I realized my fellow attendees didn't remember the classic Wheel tactic of making the contestants spend their money on junk. Otherwise known as "shopping."

It's remarkably hard to find classic Wheel of Fortune clips on YouTube. It's even hard to find clips from the era when Vanna had to actually turn the letters, rather than touching a screen. This clip is back even further, before Pat Sajak joined the show. The shopping takes place at about the 6:30 mark.

The You Tube player counts down the time, so you'll want to look at the last 1:45

Yea. I don't think I'd ever seen that before.
