Hey all - looking for some help identifying these cranks on a bike I'm going to look at tomorrow. Any thoughts on the manufacturer and model? Thanks!

Tune Bigfoot is the other name, that pops up. Would say Topline, not sure if Tune had a version without a hole through for the pedal axle.
 
Yeah! Topline was the name of the company. I just remember that it was the fathers CNC "job shop" and his 2 sons strutted around like MTB rockstars (more like little A-holes). They also made Graftons second version cranks and CQP'S (Gary Cook) last attempt (and quick failure) to survive in the bike business.

On the "other side" of that... John Grafton was a 100% WONDERFUL GUY and a pure joy to hang with!
 
Top line manufactured for Grafton and later sold crank sets under their name.
If I remember correctly, if there is a screw in the spider, they are Grafton. In another case, Top line.
Topline had closed pedal backs.
Now looking at the photograph in detail, they should be Top Line with almost complete certainty.
Excellent crank set!
