Hello Jim.
85D from the serial number indicates a Distillate completed in 1985, but the number after the D is too low. All (most) Alembics are numbered sequentially in build order, guitars and basses, regardless of model or style. I own a 1981 Distillate and it's 81D1892.

My guess is there should be a number after the 7, 3400 seems in the right range for '85

Edit, just saw the listing... the seller replaced the last number with a *, you should mail the seller to get the complete number...

There is another thread going on this.
It is a distillate. Picked up for $1500 and being resold at $2295.
The controls are vol,filter, q-switch, bass and treble quick tone switches, pick-up selector.
NLP
controls,
