HARO started in 1926 in Smitsstraat 153 in
The Hague.
The company sold its radios using a number
of agents. In Amsterdam, Harophone was
represented by the Amsterdamsche
Radio-Onderneming. |
For some time there
seems to have been a cooperation between HARO and Radio-Technisch Bureau Broadcast,
also from The Hague. In several ads, Broadcast
advertised Harophone radios, and in an article in
newspaper Het Vaderland of November 10th, 1928 (above),
it is stated that Broadcast is the maker of Harophone
receivers. HARO was
probably a wholesale organisation and not really a
manufacturer. |
|
Radio-Technisch Bureau F. Hofenk in
Leeuwarden was the representative for the northern
provinces. |

A number of different models were made: Type
I, II, III, IV, V, VI and G, all based on the four-valve Type I, but
with different cabinets, as well as three short wave
receivers Type 1a (with 2, 3 and 4 tubes). A less expensive model, based
on Type I was made using the name "Populair".
Another model, based on Type I was Type G, described as:
"Like Type I, but with better components and an elegant
cabinet". Later the AC models W and WP
and the Harophone-Solodyne were developed. In 1930 a kit
was introduced, based on the WP, maybe in an effort to
get rid of a
residual quantity of radios. |
Radios were produced until 1930. Later models were made
by Waldorp, The Hague. |
