Post  AMCGUY Wed Oct 03, 2018 7:13 pm

I recently picked up an old speed boat model.  It has a Cox 049 in it....mounted pretty crudely.  I don't know that much about older engines, but what is the glow head?  Is it a Cox head or aftermarket?

Thanks for the help.

Pretty sure I have one of those and it was indeed made by Testors to suit a Cox engine.

That appears to be a Testors #4 that was normally anodized  gold and marketed as "The Golden Glo Plug ".
Can't tell if it once had the gold finish but it is definitely a Testors item.
For the record, they marketed glow plugs for most / all brands of glow engines back in the day ( Late 50's / Early 60's).

There was also a manufacturer called Charlie's, or Charlie's Goods. They made conventional glow plug adapters and plugs. The flats on the side of the plug resembles their glo plug conversion head.

My heart aches to see the poor engine in such a condition..any chance that you will be able to refurbish it?

Charlie's RC did make glow plug adapter heads to use the standard long glow plugs on the market.
I have them NIP and loose for all three sizes offered ( Cox .049, .09, and .15).
They have a flat top and the machined and threaded hole for the common every day glow plug.
What we see here is the Testors #4 which looks exactly like the NIP one I'm holding in my hand.
I believe Martin H. still has the Charlie's RC parts pictured in the Third Party section of his website ( at least the last time I looked ).
