The contestant must set the dials to the price of the three-digit prize to open the safe and win both prizes.

Let's Open the Safe! It's a Magnavox Home Entertainment Center with TV, Turntable, AM/FM Radio and an 8-Track Player. She can also win a pair of Brumby Rocking Chairs. It's a prize package worth $2,811! Let's close that safe!
