Finally found one at the right price and with the aesthetic I wanted. The Hawaiian-themed texturing in the metal gives the body a cool vibe! This will stay in Open D for now, as I am learning my way around Open D & Open E tunings.
The Tri-cone sounds so full and the 3 cones create an almost chorus-like effect.
The nut needs to be shimmed up a bit, and the action needs to be lowered a bit, but it plays pretty-good as-is 
Boy, that’s nice!
That is so nice! enjoy!

Hi Eddie,
Happy NGD

Happy NGD, Eddie 
Wow, that looks really cool
Have lots of fun together 
Like Brian said, Brothers in Arms, but it is screaming Romeo and Juliet cheers HEC happy NGD
Enjoy making music with the new one.
Sweet res.
awesome. I’m going to wind up with a resonator at some point, I’m sure. This one’s a beauty!
Great looking resonator! You will have loads of fun with it. If you are thinking of playing slide, you may wish the action to be a bit on the high side.
Happy NGD! The tri-cone is the only type that I don’t have yet, Hmm… 
Wow
That will keep you warm at night
I have a Republic as well. Damn the action is high on it, great for slide licks, but a bear to incorporate fingered notes. I’m not sure about your model, but mine has two truss rods in it iff’n you’re looking to manipulate the action. Been a while since I picked mine up, prolly due for a pro set-up. Enjoy!
Happy NGD Eddie - I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun with it! Play it for us pleeeease! Resonators sound so cool!
I doesn’t sound very cool when I’m playing it…yet
