How many were made, when they were made and what they're worth. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6256 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, February 22, 2008 - 7:38 pm:    A few years back, Michael posted in this 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. guitarsmithdenver New Username: guitarsmithdenver Post Number: 2 Registered: 2-2008 Posted on Saturday, February 23, 2008 - 9:23 am:    Thanks for the info
