Maybe I should have worded it a little differently. I usually only do this kind of stuff for the local people around me and I do do it for free for them. I am offering to do this for any of my friends and I made this offer to all of you guys on here. So does that make you feel better?

Will, the gaskets arrived safely. Do these look more like 090G gaskets?
Hopefully these are all the parts I'll need for the rebuild. Randy, I can head the extra intake tract gasket your way if you need them. If not, I've got a Contra of my own to go through.

I think a straight raffle like we've done here before would still be the way to go. Those football square things suck. Lets not put more emphasis into the contest/gambling/game aspect than needed. The whole point here is to help Stumpy get back on his feet.

I've talked it over with Preston and we plan to part the Contra out. It will bring the most that way I think. It has quite a lot of corrosion.
Sorry to hear that. At least it will benefit other Contra rebuilds.

Man guys I wish I had enough money to buy the Contra, the thought of you dismantling a relic makes me sick. If I could Id buy it just to stare at it. I love the lines of that saw, look at the avatar. Well If it'll maximize profits for the stumpster I guess..............

I am in the same boat. I know nothing about football.
Wow I am not the only one around who don't do football

If you would, like my wife said she would volunteer to run the raffle. She has experience with raffles, she ran one every year for the Minnesota four wheel drive association for about ten years. It would be our pleasure to help out. PM me or just post it here and let me know.

I don't have the time or resources to do it. Just giving my opinion. As one of the donors for the raffle, I thought it'd be OK to do so....

The "squares" thing doesn't have anything to do with football in specific. It's just a gambling method for groups of people. Uses a grid (comprised of squares) with 1 through 10 numbers along the X and Y axis. It can be used with any game using a set of two scores. It involves the last digit of each score matching the numbers on the edges of the grid..................hopefully intersecting at the square that you've picked. There are variations of the theme. This sort of thing is usually used by groups of friends, office/factory/watch pools, etc.
I'm not sure how it'd be used in this case, since there are multiple prizes and hopefully multiple 'winners'. Every "squares" thing I've seen has involved a pot/pool payed into by everyone involved. With football games, there's usually winners for each half, and sometimes a winner for each quarter. Sometimes players can buy multiple "squares" for more chances of winning. Gambling holds no interest for me, so I avoid these things....
Thanks so much to you and your wife for stepping up and running this. Much appreciated!

Sweet! Glad they made it ok. I figured you could use the extras, that's why I sent them all to you. Keep them for yourself of do as you wish.
Glad I could help, even in a little way.

I believe you're right. There's several ebay auctions (some completed, some ongoing, and at least one that's yet to start) to raise money for Stumpy. There's the "main" raffle (which has Duke Thieroff's Homelite SXL925, my McCulloch 10-10A, Jon1212's Stihl 075, a 32" bar, and maybe some other stuff I'm forgetting). Then there's the EC 7900 raffle by itself....
