I have sent a couple of emails the last two months, trying to order a Hoover Whitecap, but have received no reply. Has anyone received an order from this fellow recently and if so how long does it take?
Norma,
Mack has been very responsive in my experience. Did you try the contact link at this web address? He changed his web url recently.

He seems to be pretty busy these days. People want more whistles than he can put out it looks like.
Hi Norma,
Any seeming neglect wasn’t on purpose.
My apology!
Mack
As you can see, Mack has responded very quickly to my post, email mixup or something! Looking forward to my new Whitecap!
Don’t let it worry you. While some of these oh-so-helpful folks don’t like to admit it, all of them were beginners once.
Never fear. Although Mack can’t keep up with the demand for his whistles, there are rumors that they have extracted the hoover whistle DNA (overseas, the religious nuts won’t let us do it in this country) and working on cloning the hoover whistles. Supposidly, damaged parts of whistles can be replaced with laboratory grown whistle parts which are identical to the original parts. Eventually whole whistles may be grown in test tubes. Unfortunatly, we probably won’t ever be able to get them here in the USA. Gen’ral Ashkroft has alread pledged to wage war on any nations working on whistle cloning technology. I’ts for the chil’uns. An’ god hates cloned whistles. It’s a security threat besides. It’s for your own good. Gen’ral Ashkroft says we should thank him.
