"We've seen the occasional DC input added to the RP18 Sovereign, and we think those might have been a dealer-fit option, using parts supplied by Hacker, but we've no documentary evidence to support that yet."

Hacker definitely provided a dealer-fitted external power supply socket kit for the RP25 - I think it was available from the early 1970s (1973?), which is when I had one fitted to mine.. It was designed to work with the VP whatever-it-was Hacker power supply (which had adjustable DC output voltages). I assume they would have supplied the same (or similar) kit for the RP18.
