Oh, the Scrambler was a great ride. Steady money, good looking, great lights (with the crown package) easy to up and down, single load, low maintenance and virtually indestructible.
You could paint the whole thing in a few hours with a couple gallons of silver paint and a rag.
Strates still had the Scramber when I left the show, I don't remember him having a Sizzler.
Don't remember seeing Reithoffer's, but Strates' tried to copy the Himalaya building, but without a base, and with black canvas painted with stars and whatnot rather than scenery panels. It was ridiculous, and not in a good way.
