Acorn AKF18

RH-Z38E

The Acorn AKF18 is a 14-inch multisync colour monitor associated with the 1992 A3010 and A3020 computers. Its ability to sync at both 15kHz television frequency and 31kHz VGA frequency means it can display the full range of RISC OS modes, including those ordinary VGA monitors cannot show at all. This makes it important to the collection: the right companion to the Acorn machines and a particularly useful display for other low-frequency boxes. This one, although fully working, is rusty, filthy, and needs a full restoration.
