Getting gear from Noel Howard?

Post by NewJerseyRaider »

Im pretty new to this board, so if I ask any questions thats already been answered, please forgive me. I understand that Noel Howard left MBA costumes, but now hes back in business, as of sometime in August?
Last I read, he was waiting for his computer to get back from the PC doctor before he would bring his site online. Has any heard anything yet? Could someple please give me the web addy of his site? I need a strap for my MKVII, and was going to get one from Lee Keepler, but I dont feel like waiting a few months for a strap.
Thanks a lot!

Nobody has gotten a response from Noel yet. His computer might still be out for all we know. Or maybe he became really busy on another project.

As far as I know there is no website yet.

AC is right - there is no website as yet. Noel can be contacted through his AOL email address, but when I last spoke to him his PC was out of order and he was hoping to have it fixed soon.

I keep meaning to call him regarding the UK summit anyway, so I'll try to do that tomorrow and find out the situation.

You might want to look into the straps offered at toddscostumes.com. (I think that's theright web address.) I've heard some folks say that his deluxe strap is pretty good. It's another option, anyway.

I've talked to him on AOL Instant messenger twice. Very nice man to talk to. He gave me the basic specs. on some things I was interested in, however, he didn't have prices up yet.
