Anyone busking with a Dobro/resonator?

Do any of the members here who busk perform on a Dobro or other resonator guitar?

I have the chance to buy a good one used. It's a mahogany-bodied guitar with an aluminum resonator.

I'm wondering about rust if it should get wet (unlikely, since I would substitute a cheap dread if the forecast called for rain), or whether the resonator might be affected by heat, since I'll be in open spaces with lots of sunlight.

Thanks!

Aluminium Doesn't Rust !!
