When did $2500 and $3500 become values on the Wheel? I know the top dollar values began as $750-$1000-$5000. When did it change?

$2500 became the top dollar value in round two on nighttime WOF as of 10/5/1987, when the nighttime show went from prizes to cash in the maingame. $3500 became the top dollar value in round three on that same date. $750 was the top dollar value in round one in only the earliest episodes of nighttime WOF, it became $1000 a few weeks into the run IIRC.

The $750 TDV in the first round only lasted for approximately 4 episodes, all taped in July 1983 and were aired scatteredly in different months, so the 2nd taped episode might not air until sometime in November depending on market but it also had *5* commercial breaks instead of 4. |

Those episodes were the only times a commercial break was taken in the middle of a round on the nighttime version. The daytime version continued to have five commercial breaks until the Rolf era. |

Sometimes if time permits, $3500 would be available for rounds 3 and 4 when the all cash format debuted in 1987, with $5000 being available for round 5. That was stopped by the early 1990s.

I bet you meant THROUGH Rolf's tenure as daytime host. |

Strange thing: I just finished watching a daytime episode where they took a commercial break after shopping but right before Jack announced the prizes for the round. The $750 TDV in the first round only lasted for approximately 4 episodes, all taped in July 1983 and were aired scatteredly in different months, so the 2nd taped episode might not air until sometime in November depending on market but it also had *5* commercial breaks instead of 4.
