When I sold my '75 337P I had the hot plate, but since I wasn't IFR rated at that time I never used it and put it in a box and forgot about it. Several years later when cleaning out the garage I found it and wondered if it was worth anything, so I took it down to the airport and asked my mechanic if it had any value. At that time, new from Cessna they quoted $2,600, but it would take up to 8 months to get one from the factory since they waited until they had orders for several of them before they would make them. I was told that between the laminated layers is a fine mesh made with gold. That hot plate was sold to the buyer of my 75P who lived in CA and many years later the plane now belongs to Jerry DeSantis.
