Oh, wow. The Marysville XT-22 info is correct, it was on the north side of Dunham St. It was, in fact, the first tornado siren I ever saw as a kid, circa 1988/89.

I will let you know other locations I can recall.

Edit:
Bucyrus had a system of rotating EOWS 612's. One was at the highway garage on Brand Ave. Another was on Rt. 4 where the current 2001 is located.

Westerville had a RSH-10 located behind Kroger on Schrock Rd.

Marysville: STH-10 northwest corner of Amrine Mill and N. Maple St. Also STH-10 in alley behind fire station downtown (this was moved and standing near cemetery on NW side).

IIRC, London had a T-Bolt system. I think the locations are roughly where the current sirens are.

Richwood had an Alertronic 6000 at the opera house/police station.

Does anyone recall what sirens the city of Delaware had before the 2001's? I swear there was some community that had an SD-10 and it might have been Delaware.

There used to be a Thunderbolt 1003 and a Fedelcode at the old City Hall/police station in Willard, at the corner of Myrtle Avenue & Woodland Avenue. The building was demolished in November 2012, not sure when the sirens were removed. Enclosed photo was Snip & Sketch'd from a video filmed on February 6th, 1987.

The first T-Bolt in Franklin County was installed on the roof of the Neil House hotel, which was demolished in 1981. Now the site of Huntington Center, across from the state house.

Are you getting the Franklin County locations off the map that was posted by a user a few years back? It had all the sirens that were standing in 1990 or so.

Sunbury had a 5/7 on Sedgwick Ave. It was roof mounted on a building at the water treatment plant. Looks like it's gone. There was another 5/7 on Middleview Dr. at the sewage treatment plant-I can't tell if it's still there. Neither siren had been used for years.

Springfield had a T-Bolt roof mounted on an abandoned school. Might have been somewhere on Lagonda Ave on the northeast side but that was 25 years ago so the school may be gone.
