I'll take anything from 80's Pyramid. Preferably Clark's podium. That to me, would be the best thing to own.

[quote name=\'BillCullen1\' post=\'184170\' date=\'Apr 16 2008, 05:19 PM\'] I think I would take Paul Lynde's desk from the original Hollywood Squares if it still exists. Oh, if that desk could talk . . . . [/quote]

Peter Marshall: Paul, if your desk cuold talk, what would it say?
Paul Lynde: Oh, paint me! PAAAAAINT me!


I'd like one of the isolation booths from the $64,000 Question. Fit that with some proper lighting, run a hose in there and you can grow po...er, hydroponic tomatoes, uh yah, that's the ticket.

-----

Not to threadjack, but this reminded me of an old question - I remember episodes of original Password where somebody would have trouble sitting down, and Allen Ludden would mention something about "the chair slipped off the track again" as they got it straightened out. (And nowadays, the taping of that show would take 10 hours as they fix the chair and it's all edited out.)

What was with those chairs anyway?

Since Mike already claimed the Bonus Shuffle from Hall BTC, the clock itself might be nice; my son would like that...

How about the electronic lock from Dream House, installed at my front door so salespeople have a 1/64 chance of me opening the door... actually those are better odds than they have now.

On a smaller scale: the golden dice from Martindale's "High Rollers", or the red TAKE from Classic Concentration, esp. when someone at work gets the last bagel.

Thinking little, assuming that the "one piece" can come in pairs, I gotta go for the "Super Password" monitors.

Thinking big, the original "Hollywood Squares" grid.

I would choose Marc Summers' podium from Double Dare.

I'd like the solari board readout thingy from the bonus round of "The Big Showdown."  A nice item from one of my favorite shows that would look great in my rec room.

The game board from TTD... complete with the Apple ][s and the Altair to run it.  It'll make a great conversation piece.

Wow, a picture of Barker giving out performance evaluations to his staff. "I'm sorry (INSERT NAME), we no longer have a job for you on The Price Is Right".

If Boden's not doing anything with Super Ball!, I'll gladly take it off his hands.

I'm sure over the years Allen Koss and some stagehands had some choice conversations about it: "Get that &^%$#@! piece of %$#@!@#$% out of here, and take your *&^%$# categories with you!"

A piece of Allen Ludden's Password Plus podium which was sawed off because the corner was poking him in his (afflicted) abdomen.

Wait, I already have that.

How 'bout the three-sided Now You See It board?  It'd be a little large for the average living room, no doubt, but replace one side with a flat-screen TV, another with a big oil painting...
