Just maybe. I know it was around 1983-84 that they replaced their cameras; they might've decided to slip in the switcher upgrade while they were at it.

The exception to that was how long they clung onto the physical credit roll over the Chyron. (Or am I wrong and this goes into the "Game show false memories" thread?)

As I recall, chyron credits were briefly used in the late 80s or early 90s, then the credit roll came back for most of the 90s.

Very briefly. IIRC, they only used it once in 1988 (see below), then went back to art cards until '96. I think the 25th Anniversary special was when they switched to CG for good.
According to Youtube, this was the 1987-88 season finale, so maybe they thought about switching to CG the following season and reconsidered?
Chelsea Thrasher:
Two things worked against the Chyron experiment:
1) The experimental graphics (partially owing to choices and partly owing to the limits of the 1988 tech) looked like absolute ass.
2) It coincided right around the time when Price as a show really starts to harden into the generally change-avoidant pop culture monolith that it was up until Barker retired. In the shadow of Breslow retiring in Fall '86 and Alter becoming director as well as Frank Wayne's death in March '88 leading to Barker's (and his sycophants') total control, the show basically froze in place for the better part of 20 years.
