Michael did a review of the Radiotone in the '90s. Rated it very postively.
You can get them relatively cheap s/hand I've noticed them coming up fairly regularly on eBay in the £1-1.2k starting price range.
How much do they want for it?
I hate the cartoony headstock.
Cheers,
Rich

The look of this one is more traditional than the cutaway version with the thin horizontal slots.
They were funky, I like them, one of the original ideas NRP have had that work for me.
Good guitars though with a strong, strident voice, I really enjoyed playing one.

He wants £900.
I like the headstock. Are these spruce and maple?

I had one for quite a few years. Great tone... in recordings, it sounded just like my 31 Duolian. The downside for me (and ultimately I sold it because of this) was that the neck was considerably narrower than all my other resonators.

Sorry you missed it, but as richclough said, they do appear for sale quite often at a decent price.
Keep your eyes peeled!

Hi there !
The neck was considerably narrower ?
I had a Radiotone Bendaway, serial no. 069 and the neck was pretty big and wide, with quite a pronounced v-shape to it in the low fret region.
That non Bendawa model looks quite cool, and love that case lining !!
