This controller outperforms and outsells all others in its class.  The black pistol grip handle is comfortable to hold and is amply vented for rapid heat dissipation.  A 15 OHM taper wound resistor permits smooth acceleration and response.  Plunger is thumb actuated and has a silver-impregnated graphite brush slider for maximum electrical and mechanical efficiency.  Cooling fins on the plunger shaft maximize heat dissipation.  A flexible and easily replaced fuse wire protects the resistor from burnout resulting from improper hookup.  Connecting cable terminates in color coded wire leads and alligator clips.  A flexible cord protector minimizes chafing and wear of cable where it passed through the controller case.

How to Pick the Right Controller
 
The controller has an enormous job to do--control the car, and absorb or dissipate the heat generated by its resistance.  Since all motors vary in the amount or resistance in the armature, the same controller is available in varying OHM ratings.
 
The rule of thumb is:  the HOTTER the motor, the lower OHM rating controllers work best.  HO cars, 1/32 cars in sets and some older 1/32 and 1/24 car kit cars use medium to high OHM controllers.  The latest motors and rewinds use the 15 OHM rated units.
 
The following chart suggests what motors will operate best on what OHM controllers.  You can work from there.
 
15 OHMS or less:
Can type 300B, 500B, 600B, Pittman DC84, DC65-6 volt, Kemtron 6 volts, K & B Super Challenger, Atlas 6 volt, Glove SS-91, and similar "hot" motors and rewinds.
 
25 OHMS or less:
Pittman DCI96B, Can type 600A, Kemtron 8-10 volts, Strombecker Avenger, K & B Challenger, Strombecker Devastator, Pittman DC706, Ram 850, 426, Strombecker Destroyer, Hustler and similar motors including 1/32 - 1/24 scale car kits.
 
Over 45 OHMS:
Strombecker Scuttler, Pittman DC 65-12, Wilson 876-13, Kemtron 12-18 volt motors, all 12-18 volt motors in 1/32 & 1/24 scale ready to run sets.  The "normal" type motors for long, smooth, dependable operation.

Cox

The greatest name in vintage slot cars collecting. Cox built the best quality cars and kits from 1964 to 1969 and today's collectors appreciate that quality. Cox sold their cars in RTR and kit form as well as parts. Body and chassis kits, wheels, tires, motors, axles, guides and gears were all sold separately. The kits are especially cherished but the factory-assembled RTR cars in their original boxes are also highly valued. A Blue Chip invesment.


My Dad owned a Hobby Shop that closed in the early 1970's, and he kept some of the more interesting slot cars and accessories from that era.  The items I am listing are in most cases, near new or gently used.  I have taken many pictures to show every angle and have tried to describe all features and/or flaws to the best of my ability.  Please email with any questions specific to something I may have missed. Please check my other auctions as I will be selling many cars, accessories and track in all three scales-- HO, 1/32nd, and 1/24th.  If you don't see the car or part you are looking for, please email me.  If I have it, I will list it for you.  Many of the items in my inventory  are  NEW OLD STOCK.
