I'm trying to find some info on the Grote Model 7661x series of LED minibars, such as the 76612 (Red variant). The last number just refers to the colour of the LEDs. It's an 8 head minibar that's 15 3/4" with a clear dome, but I know nothing about it besides that it also comes in a 6 head variant (Model 7660x). I'm able to find new ones for sale pretty easily, but they're very pricey and I'm just wondering if I could find any info on these bars. I've looked around a bit and can't find much at all. Are they produced by another company for sale by Grote like how Whelen produces Responder LPs and Mini Justices for sale under Grote's brand? I've attached a link to show its appearance and dimensions. Info like this is about the most I can find. Any help would be appreciated, especially why they're so bloody expensive! One of these new would set me back more than if I bought a new Grote-branded Mini Justice!

That's a rebranded Ecco Blaze. The logo is visible on the top of the lens in the second photo:

Here is another photo of a depopulated variety of the same bar:

The LED version of the Blaze is no longer listed on Ecco's site, but it is still pictured as part of their Contact Us graphic:

Thanks shues! I was trying to make out the logo on the top of it but couldn't make heads or tails of it. I've never even heard of that manufacturer or bar before, so this one's completely new to me. If Ecco doesn't produce them anymore, it may explain why the Grote ones are so friggin' expensive. My jaw dropped when I got the quote for it. Not only could I could get a Grote-rebranded mini Justice for that price and still have some money left over to buy a Grote-rebranded Responder LP CON3.
