Recording king has a tri cone for about $1000. You might find one used in your price range. I've never played one so can't give an opinion on them.
I can say the Gretsch roots collection resos are good quality instruments for the money. I sold my Boxcar to a friend about 5 years ago and I'm still trying to buy it back. I had the alligator for a while and it was pretty good too.
You might already know this but there's a huge difference between a spider bridge and a biscuit bridge resonator. If you're buying online make sure you know which one you want before ordering.
