Anyone have any information on Pan-Alembic Les Paul. How many were made, when they were made and what they're worth.

A few years back, Michael posted in this (http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=15249) thread the following:
 
Pan was a company that was distributed by L.D. Heater. The same folks that distributed Alembic back in 1973 and 74 before Rothchild stepped in. A Pan/Alembic is a Pan instrument that was modified by Alembic on a production line basis. At least that is what the Pan brochure says that I am taking this from. The Pan/Alembic instruments featured Alembic ceramic magnet hot-rod modification and some Alembic shielding. There was also some Alembic low end boost and low end cut switches. So....a Pan was a Pan, and a Pan/Alembic was just a knockoff with some uprated electronics.
 
Hope that helps.
