You can remove the 5TT/7TT and the WS-2500. 5TT/7TT is a Federal Signal Model 5T/7T Re-badged with a new housing by Darley, and the 2 "T"s are likely either a stamping issue or it was Darley's model of an existent siren.

The Whelen WS-2500 was never produced.

That is not true. Both Federals and Darleys were stamped with this type up until about 1960/1970. The "TT" stood for two-tone. Federal changed it in the around the 1970's to just one "T". Also the Darley rebrands were extremely rare. Darley purchased siren parts from Federal, Sterling, and ACA and made their own sirens out of it with their own tags. Although some of the time they were just copies with different shrouds, they changed the port ratio on most models to 8 and changed the shroud and the tags too.
Also, there was reported to be some WS-2500's purchased by a power plant.
EDIT: IIRC, they stopped putting 2 Ts at the end around 1975.

That was a misprint. Someone in the area checked around the area the sirens were said to be. There were a few 2000 series and a 3016 but no 2500s. If they were ever produced they were removed which is strange because the 2000s and 3016s were purchased at the same time the 2500s were said to be purchased.

To quote nvanw, "Someone who’s mapped the system can confirm that you are not looking at 2500s. Indian Cave has WS-2020s, and there’s a 3016 out that way too that you were likely looking at."

Okay.
Someone DID say that the drivers being exposed led to replacement.

Sterling Duplex/Quadruplex, basically a modified Denver Siren, hand full of duplex known to exist, only one quadruplex known to ever exist, scrapped.

Added most of those. Thanks!

I'm a bit surprised the Model 1 and Model 5QC aren't in this roster, afaik there's a handful of Model 1s known to exist (with one member here owning one?) and only one 5QC that is known to exist. Although I'm not entirely certain about the 5QC

I think the Klaxon Secomak CS-8, CS-3 and GP-3 are also worth adding. There's a few other CS-series Secomaks but aside from the CS-3 and 8 I don't think the other models even made it to production..

Gonna add those later. Thanks!

Thunderbolts that have a 6M/6MC blower are worth mentioning.
