Default Neck joint in National Resophinics, same as in vintage Nationals?

I’ve been asked to do neck resets on a vintage ‘30’s National O, and an ‘09 National Resophonic Triolian. Can anyone say, if the neck joint in a modern N-R is the same, or very similar, to the vintage ones?

Not sure why they would need a neck reset, strings push down on bridge/biscuit, not pull up like a typical pin bridge guitar. Unless the neck is bowed or pulled up? Quite a bit can be done by raising/lowering the bridge/biscuit.

I know my 36 National has a dowel stick neck like old style banjos. You might look up neck resets on those as they would be similar. My understanding is the Dopyera bros. were originally banjo makers.
