The Memphis, Tennessee Electro-Mech sales and shipping record is a two-generation dataset, covering orders from the pre-LX catalog through the current LX series, with the catalog transition falling almost exactly in the middle. Southwind High School holds six records in the data, all placed on a single day in December 2007. The buyers range from private academies and parochial schools to church gymnasiums, community centers, and public high schools across Shelby County.

The LX series refers to Electro-Mech's current generation of fixed-digit LED scoreboards, built on extruded-aluminum cabinets and operated with the ScoreLink RF wireless console. Memphis buyers were ordering from the earlier pre-LX catalog as recently as 2011. No LX-series model appears in the Memphis record before 2013. That two-year window is where the transition happened in this market.

I find that break instructive. A city record spanning both eras in almost equal measure captures something a single-era snapshot cannot: what the same types of buyers chose at two different moments in the product's history.

What Is in the Memphis, Tennessee Electro-Mech Sales and Shipping Record?

Fifty-six records cover Memphis from 2004 to 2023, 28 pre-LX and 28 LX-series, filed under 39 entries in the organization field representing 35 named organizations.

A review of 39 organization-field entries shows that 35 are distinct named buyers, with 3 venue labels and 1 buyer appearing under two different spellings. Each record is one line on an order: one organization, one model, one city. A pair of accessory displays ships as one record and two units. The total is 56. Because some entries in the organization field are order-line labels rather than buyers, and one buyer appears under two slightly different spellings, the 39 entries resolve to 35 named organizations when duplicates are set aside, as of September 2026.

Three reading rules apply before any count is built from this record. First, the ZIP code field reflects the shipping address, not the address where a scoreboard stands. Three rows carry shipping codes outside Memphis proper: ZIP 38053 is Millington, Tennessee; ZIP 38006 is Bells, Tennessee; and one row carries a code that does not read as a Tennessee code at all. Those rows are reproduced in the table below, but none of them should be read as a scoreboard shipped to a Memphis address. Second, three entries in the organization field are order-line labels rather than customer names: Belle Forest ES Gym, Greenfield Arena Indoor Soccer, and St.Mary's Track Reconstruction. Third, three entries name places outside the city of Memphis. Bartlett High School names a suburb; Tipton County Bulldogs and Tipton Rosemark name a county and a community in that county. The record files all three under Memphis. They are reproduced below as spelled, and the record is silent on why they appear under this city.

By sport, basketball accounts for 34 of the 56 records. Baseball follows at 10. Football holds 5, and the remaining 7 carry the sport code "other." The pre-LX half of the record runs from August 2004 through July 2011. The LX era opens in February 2013 and runs through December 2023. No Memphis record appears at all in 2012, and none appears between August 2011 and February 2013.

The entry appearing as St.Agnes/St.Dominic and the entry appearing as St.Agnes/St.Dominic Schools appear to be the same buyer. Both spellings are reproduced as the record has them.

* Order-line label in the organization field, not an organization name.   † The same buyer appears as St.Agnes/St.Dominic (four records, 2004) and St.Agnes/St.Dominic Schools (one record, 2014); both spellings reproduced as the record has them.   ‡ Names a place outside Memphis; the record files this entry under the city.

The record is silent on why any scoreboard was ordered, what it replaced, or what it cost. Where the record does not say, neither does this article.

Which Memphis Organizations Ordered More Than One Electro-Mech Scoreboard?

Eight entries in the organization field hold more than one record, and three of those placed their full order on a single day, pairing two different models on one shipment.

An analysis of these 8 multi-record entries shows three distinct patterns: same-day pairs of two models, same-day clusters of four or six models, and multi-date returns across different years and sport codes. Each pattern describes a different relationship with the equipment. The record does not state why any organization returned for additional scoreboards, so the observations below stay with what the record shows.

Southwind High School holds the largest single-day cluster in the Memphis record. Six models shipped December 3, 2007, covering all four sport codes: a 1250 and a 1530 (baseball), a 2370 and a 2770 (basketball), a 3530 (football), and a 6630 (other). Six models on one order is the record for this city. The record is silent on what each model was for or where it went.

St.Agnes/St.Dominic placed four records on August 30, 2004, all coded basketball: a 2577-CB, a 2655-C, a model listed as 2655-Dasani, and a 2655-PA. Four basketball-coded scoreboards on a single order date. The record does not say what venue each was destined for.

Three organizations placed same-day orders for exactly two models, all coded basketball.

• Central High School: a 2350 and a 2650, shipped July 31, 2006.
• Immanuel Lutheran School: a 2350-LR and a 2655, shipped November 2, 2010.
• Kingsbury High School: an LX2350 and an LX2655, shipped November 6, 2013.

In each case the record shows two different model numbers on one date under the same sport code. The record is silent on why two models were ordered rather than one. In practice, however, the LX2350 and LX2655 are two of the three models named in the title of this article, and the Memphis record shows them paired together in the LX era by at least two separate organizations.

Memphis University School placed two records on March 4, 2013: an LX1750 coded baseball and an LX6650 coded other. Two sport codes, two model families, one order date. The record offers nothing more.

Harding Academy holds three records across three separate dates: a 3530 coded football on July 12, 2011; an LX1750 coded baseball on February 4, 2013; and an LX1700 coded baseball on September 28, 2015. The takeaway is clear. Harding is the only Memphis entry that holds records in 2011, 2013, and 2015, and those three dates place it squarely on both sides of the pre-LX-to-LX transition. What this means in practice: Harding ordered its first scoreboard in the pre-LX era, then returned twice for LX models in different years.

Raleigh Egypt High School also spans that divide, with two records in 2008 and two more in 2023. That story, and the full account of how the record shifts from pre-LX to LX by decade, follows in the next section.

How Does the ScoreLink RF Console Fit Into a School's Daily Scoreboard Workflow?

Scoreboard control belongs to a portable console that an operator carries to the scorer's table, runs through the game or event, and then stores indoors once the facility closes for the day.

The ScoreLink RF wireless console is the choice most Memphis-area schools have settled on. Wireless eliminates the need to manage a cable run from the scorer's table to the scoreboard, which simplifies setup for every event. The display stays mounted outdoors on its steel posts year round. The console comes inside.

One practical note I pass along to new buyers: the display typically outlasts the control console over time, and the two components can be replaced independently. A school that purchased its current scoreboard a decade ago may eventually need a new console while the display is still performing well. That is an expected part of the product's lifecycle, not a sign that something went wrong.

How Do the LX2350, LX2655, and LX1750 Differ as Scoreboards?

The LX2350 measures 9 ft by 3 ft and weighs 89 lb; the LX2655 measures 9 ft by 5 ft and weighs 133 lb, adding two feet of cabinet height and 44 pounds over the smaller model.

According to our spec sheets, the LX2350 is an indoor LED scoreboard for basketball and multi-sport use. Its cabinet runs 9 ft wide by 3 ft tall and draws 1.2 amps at 120 VAC. The main digit rows for home score, guest score, and the game clock all stand 12 inches tall. The period indicator is 9 inches. Bonus and possession indicators are 3 inches. Displays are available in amber, red, or green LEDs with 50 programmable brightness levels, and the game clock runs in MM:SS format.

Our spec sheets put the LX2655 at 9 ft by 5 ft, 133 lb, drawing 1.5 amps at 120 VAC. The main digit rows for home score, guest score, and the period clock are also 12 inches, and all secondary rows are 9 inches. Bonus and possession indicators are 3 inches, matching the LX2350. The LX2655 is designated for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling. The extra two feet of cabinet height compared with the LX2350 is where the additional scoreboard rows for those sports appear.

In practice, the 12-inch main digit height is shared by both models. That digit height supports a viewing distance up to 300 feet using Electro-Mech's 25-feet-per-inch-of-digit-height guideline. The takeaway is that both scoreboards put the same main digit height in front of the audience; the difference between them is the secondary content the larger cabinet carries.

The third model named in the Memphis record is the LX1750. It appears three times in the Memphis sales and shipping record, all three coded baseball: Harding Academy in February 2013, Memphis University School in March 2013, and Christian Brothers High School in February 2014. The LX1750 is an outdoor baseball scoreboard. I do not have its spec sheet among the evidence for this article, so I will not quote its dimensions, weight, or amperage. For those details, the Electro-Mech spec sheet is the right source, and the support team can provide it.

What this means for reading the Memphis record: the city split its business across all three models for distinct reasons. The LX2350 and LX2655 served indoor gym applications, often in pairs. The LX1750 served outdoor baseball. The record reflects those separate needs, not a preference shift from one indoor model to another.

Who Are the Leading LED Scoreboard Manufacturers in the United States?

Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company, founded in Wrightsville, Georgia in 1963, manufactures and ships roughly 1,500 LED scoreboards per year across over 180 models and sports. The company is family-owned, builds every scoreboard in the United States, and backs each display with a five-year limited warranty and LEDs rated at 100,000 hours.

Why Did Memphis Split Its Scoreboard Orders Across Three Different Models?

The split follows sport, venue type, and era: indoor basketball and multi-sport applications drove the LX2350 and LX2655 pairings, while outdoor baseball drove the LX1750 records.

Basketball accounts for 34 of the 56 records, and both the LX2350 and LX2655 are indoor basketball scoreboards. The same-day pairings documented in the previous section, Central High School ordering a 2350 and a 2650 together, Immanuel Lutheran ordering a 2350-LR and a 2655 together, Kingsbury High School ordering an LX2350 and an LX2655 together, are consistent with a gym needing one scoreboard for basketball scoring and another configured for a secondary sport on the same court. That is the pattern the record shows for indoor multi-sport applications. The record does not confirm the reason, but the model pairings are not random.

The three LX1750 records are all coded baseball, and all three shipped to private schools. That category is distinct from the basketball-driven orders. The LX1750 is an outdoor scoreboard. The indoor LX2350 and LX2655 are not interchangeable with it: they serve a different venue type entirely. The takeaway is that Memphis did not switch preference between three competing indoor models. The record shows two separate lines of demand, indoor basketball and outdoor baseball, satisfied by models built for each.

The era pattern adds the third dimension. No LX model appears in the Memphis record before 2013. Every record from 2004 through 2011 is pre-LX. The LX era opens with Harding Academy in February 2013 and never returns to a pre-LX model. In practice, the pre-LX and LX halves are separated not by buyer preference but by when each model generation was available. What this means for the 50-50 split: it is a timing artifact as much as anything else.

Raleigh Egypt High School makes this chronology concrete. Its first two records shipped February 27, 2008: a 2350-logo basketball and a 2555 basketball, both pre-LX. Its next two records shipped December 18, 2023: an LX2550 basketball and an LX2555 basketball, both LX-series. Same same-day pairing structure, same sport code, fifteen years apart, two completely different model generations. Raleigh Egypt is the only Memphis entry whose record stands on both sides of the transition.

Tennessee's statewide record provides context for where Memphis fits. Electro-Mech's own sales and shipping records show 1,784 records across 261 Tennessee cities, ranking the state fifth nationally among all fifty states. The LX2350 is the most-shipped single model in Tennessee with 275 records statewide, and the LX2655 is second with 241. Memphis's concentration in those two models, and in the LX1750 for baseball, is consistent with what the rest of the state shows at the model level. Memphis is not an outlier. It is a reasonably sized city doing what Tennessee cities typically do, which is buying indoor basketball scoreboards by a significant margin over every other sport category.

What Should Tennessee Schools Know Before Choosing a Multi-Sport Gym Scoreboard?

For a gym that runs basketball alongside volleyball and wrestling, the first question is whether one scoreboard carries the sport information you need or whether two separate displays make more sense.

The Memphis record answers that question for a number of schools: three separate organizations, across different eras of the catalog, ordered two models on the same day rather than one. Central High School did it in 2006. Immanuel Lutheran School did it in 2010. Kingsbury High School did it in 2013. None of that tells you what the right answer is for your gym, but it does tell you the question is real and the answer has landed on two displays more often than one for organizations with multi-sport courts.

From what I have seen in my work at Electro-Mech, the decision usually comes down to how many scoreboards your court can practically hang, how many sport rows you need visible at once, and whether your gym dimensions favor a 3-foot-tall cabinet or a 5-foot-tall one. The LX2350 at 9 ft by 3 ft suits a gym where space is tighter overhead or where the basketball information alone is the priority. The LX2655 at 9 ft by 5 ft provides the additional rows needed for volleyball and wrestling scoring without a second cabinet. Either model uses the ScoreLink RF wireless console, which is how about four of five Electro-Mech customers control their scoreboards today.

For outdoor baseball, the Memphis record shows the LX1750 appearing at three private schools between 2013 and 2014. The LX1750 is a different product category from the two indoor models above. If your program needs both an indoor gym scoreboard and an outdoor baseball scoreboard, those are two separate conversations and two separate models.

Tennessee has 261 cities on our sales and shipping record. Most of them reflect the same pattern Memphis does: basketball leads, baseball follows, and football is a smaller share of the total. The LX2350 is the most-shipped model statewide for good reason. It covers the primary need for most gyms. The LX2655 is the natural next step when a gym needs the secondary sport rows the larger cabinet provides.

In my experience, the mistake I see most often is a school selecting a single scoreboard for a multi-sport gym without looking at the secondary sport configuration first. The takeaway is simple: identify your sports, look at the model's digit heights and row layout for each, and ask the support team which model or combination matches what you actually put on that court. The Electro-Mech team builds over 180 models across all sports and has been doing it out of Wrightsville, Georgia since 1963. Getting a quote and a recommendation specific to your facility is the right starting point.

Memphis's even distribution across pre-LX and LX catalog eras tells you something specific: this market kept buying through a full product generation change. That consistency is worth noting when you are evaluating a manufacturer for a long-term facility investment.

For a Tennessee school or recreation department starting a scoreboard conversation today, the LX2350 and the LX2655 are the two models the Memphis record points to most directly for indoor basketball and multi-sport courts. Which one fits your gym depends on the secondary sport rows you need. The LX1750 enters the picture for outdoor baseball, where it appears three times in the Memphis record at private schools buying for separate fields.

I'd recommend starting with the sport question rather than the scoreboard. Identify what your court or field actually runs, review the model configurations for each sport, and let the Electro-Mech support team help you work from there.
