I don't know if this link has been posted before...but it looks like a pretty complete single-cone setup guide.
Cheers for the New Year!

I'm a novice to resonator set up and this seemed to have some very useful precautions and procedures. But it doesn't mention anything about intonation setting for one thing, so I'm wondering if there are other things it's missed. I was hoping for comments from more experienced players.

There are a couple of minor adjustments than can be made:
- rotate the biscuit slightly to get a better balance;
- move the cone backwards if you are a bit sharp;
- compensate the saddle - I do it, seems to work - not everyone is into it;
- you could even set the saddle back further on the biscuit with a new cut, but that runs the risk of excessive / uneven pressure on parts of the cone;
Otherwise, I think you're largely stuck with 'intonation settings', unless you do radical stuff.
