Hello, ive got on set of a Mars spectra system and dont really know much about them, ive heard theyre fairly rare and i dont know how much of this is true because of there being very little information about them on the internet. I would like to know what they are, what there history wouldve been and if i were to sell them how much they would be ive never seen a set like this ever before and ive got a phew bars. If anyone could answer my question i would be greatful,

Thank you very much

What you have is 1 Spectrasystem lightbar (unless you have two of them to make a set?). Yours is a base model with a dual sealed beam rotator per side and mirror to add some extra flashes. Yours also has the original domes which is evident by the gray paint on the top. Some add 888 lights instead of mirrors or flashers (or both) and some had speakers in the center section which would be evident by perforations.

I'm guessing yours doesn't have the Spectrasystem decals on each endcap since you didn't photograph them. Current condition, you're looking at about $200. That can obviously vary greatly depending on the buyer and where you are selling. A lucky day on eBay and you could get an extra $100 out so.

Here is a video of mine, showing some of the options I mentioned. I'll post literature on another post
