What was Vanna White's job before Wheel of Fortune?

Does anyone have episodes that aired from Wheel of Fortune's sweethearts week in February 1996 besides the final game of the week?
The Wheel of Fortune older programs are owned by the Game Show Network. I do not know if they will ever show the February 1996 Sweethearts week again. They are not showing any of the older episodes right now. The Wheel of Fortune shows only episodes from the previous season when they repeat episodes on weekends. The summer encore episodes come from earlier current season episodes.
Does the winner of Wheel of Fortune get to come back the next day?
While they have invited contestants back during the shows history they do not have any form of a tournament of champions like on Jeopardy because it is not something determined by only skill you must also have fortune or luck to win
Who turned the letters on Wheel of Fortune before Vanna White?
Susan Stafford left Wheel of Fortune on October 22 1982 and was replaced by Vanna White on 13 December 1982 on the daytime show of Wheel of Fortune. Vanna White continued to turn letters for the Daytime Wheel of Fortune until the show ended in 1991. Substitute letter turners for a few months until Vanna White took Susan Stafford's place were Playboy Playmate Vicky McCarty and Sale of the century hostess Summer Bartholomew. On the nighttime version of Wheel of Fortune Vanna White was the original cast member and is on her 26th season which began in September 1983Vanna White replaced Susan Stafford in 1982Wheel of Fortune has the same name as the daytime show did, but it is not the same show. They existed together both showing episodes for many years until the daytime show was canceled in 1991. So as far as the People at the current Wheel of Fortune show are concerned Vanna White is the only Hostess and Pat Sajak is the only host Wheel of Fortune has ever had. The only exception is when the Jeopardy host Alex Trebek took Pat Sajak's job and Lesly Sajak took Vanna White's job when they were contestants as an April Fool's Day Stunt. This is very important to them because otherwise they could include the 3000 plus episodes from the daytime show and increase the current total from a little over 5000.if im not mistaken it was susan statford and it was the the sony question yest

It's not for sale, you must find someone who has one and try to get them to sell it by offering enough money that they will sell it.
