Cursive Initials inside VL2000 9v revvy...?

[dsnelson91]

Anybody noticed these? Was goofing around with swapping parts on this old 9v VL2000 and saw these and thought " hmm. That's interesting. I wonder what those mean ... MCB probably knows .. so here I am. Anybody have an idea?

Dan Bonebrake?
He have anything to do with revvies?

[Ecapnation]

They are view loader employee/designer initials... Names are escaping me but no not Dan bonebrake

Later Revys had the initials too but not cursive, and one with a skull if I recall. That's how you know you got a real VL before Brass Eagle shells. But yeah the owner and designer guy

DB is Dave Bell company founder.
LLL is Lamar Lon Lopez design engineer and partner.

Why am I not surprised that MCB had the answer to what are a few letters on the inside of a 30 year old hopper casting?

I knew I came to the right place for answers ... 😂 All hail the masters.👑
And as a side note, a faster RPM gearbox out of a useless VL Quantum loader can fit in a VL2000 case, with a little soldering and swapping the back motor cover. 🙃

Now what should I do with a useless quantum shell.... ?

Trim the fat off and make it a wonky shaped pump gravity feed hopper.

I gutted mine and used it as a gravity feed back in the day. Worked ok but better than when it was motorized.

It feeds about 11 bps now with the quantum motor swap, compared to the 8 or so originally. Still weighs nothing since its a single 9v. 😎
