Visible in this photo of Darrell's rack gear. It is also mentioned in this 1992 interview at 21:27.

[Interviewer] What kind of Randalls are they?

[Darrell] They're Randall RG100HTs. They're rack mount. I think HT means "rack mount", I don't know.

[Interviewer] You got a pedal board?

[Darrell] I don't I have them in a rack and the only thing else I use is a Furman PQ-4 parametric equalizer.

Phil Collen is confirmed to have used the Randall RG100HT guitar amplifier head, as evidenced by an article on steveclarkguitar.com. The article states, "Both Phil [Collen] and Steve [Clark] use a sound system [for this tour] consisting of a Randall RG100 guitar pre-amp and T.C.1210 from TC Electronics (Expander + stereo chorus / flanger) and a T.C.2290 (digital delay)." Additionally, the image above from the 1980s shows Steve Clark’s rack containing three rackmounted Randall RG100HT amplifiers, further supporting this claim.
