Home Base is the area of the Price is Right set where prizes are sometimes shown, pricing games are played and the Showcase round takes place.
The prizes and the pricing games were displayed on a turntable with a wall on it. Behind the wall is a chase light wall. On the side of the light wall is a small opening covered by a curtain, so that the games and prizes would come in through easily.
NOTE: the syndicated Davidson version from 1994 never used the Home Base/Turntable.
