^ Was the aforementioned October 1984 show the October 16, 1984 episode that got taken down?
In either event, this is a sure sign that fresh episodes are looming.
That episode is still up on my pannoni10 channel, but it was set to unlisted in November. Some earlier episodes which survive the takedowns were in lower quality, and that copy isn't the best. The next loop should be the last, as was the case for the last two batches. Among the set changes coming in the new batch:
*The vane Showcase Showdown scoreboard
*The second "in space at night" Giant Price Tag
*The yellow dollar sign with red background Clam
*The blue with neon pink Most Expensive set (featured on that episode in question)
*Punch-A-Bunch's yellow slips with dollar signs on the back
*Brighter green turntable carpet (you'll notice it when you'll see that the shade of the carpet more closely matches the Clock Game border instead of the base of Any Number)
*A new whistle for the Train
*The "chances won" indicators on On The Nose
*An updated lumina key on the Light Border where the orange and red lights appear "bigger" than the white ones
*A slight revision to the check on Blank Check
*The theme from "The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour" becoming a cue for cars and possibly Super Ball!
Other things that may make their first appearance is the Train Depot Showcase, 3 Strikes + with the sign, Penny Ante's second color scheme (dark green/blue of the same color), Pick-A-Pair's "American Patrol" carnival music, On The Nose's synth to reveal the event, Bullseye's brighter green target arrow, and some extra lighting behind the audience curtains in front of the control room. I'd bet that January 30th will kick off fresh episodes based on the pattern from previous batches.
