Quick Answer

Electro-Mech's sales and shipping records list 2,146 entries across 395 cities and towns in North Carolina, placing the state third among all 50 states in a nationwide database that totals 24,786 records. Of those 2,146 entries, 1,969 are scoreboard records and 177 are accessory display records: shot clocks, play clocks, practice segment timers, locker room clocks, and player stat panels. Accessory displays normally ship in pairs, which brings the actual North Carolina display count to 2,284. The LX2350 leads by model at 309 records, the LX2655 follows at 255, and the LX1060 sits third at 149, spread across 192 distinct models on record in the state since 1998.

What these records are and what they are not matters before reading any of the numbers below. Each entry captures a transaction: an organization in a specific North Carolina city, a scoreboard or accessory model, and a shipment. Nothing in the record says whether a display is still in service, what it replaced, or why the organization placed the order. A school that ordered a scoreboard in 2003 and a replacement in 2017 appears twice in the count. A school that ordered a basketball scoreboard and a baseball scoreboard in separate years appears twice under different sport categories. These are records of what was sold and shipped, and they are silent on everything else.

The 395 cities with at least one record range from Charlotte at 155 entries to dozens of towns with a single entry. Basketball accounts for 823 records in the state, baseball for 763, football for 413, and all other sports combined for 147. The four largest individual buyers, Pinecrest High School, West Rowan High School, South Point High School, and Gaston Christian School, are named in the section below. Where the record is silent on specifics, that is what this article reports.

How Does North Carolina's Record Rank Among All 50 States?

North Carolina stands third in Electro-Mech's nationwide shipping database with 2,146 records across 395 cities, behind two other states in a national total of 24,786 records spanning the full LED scoreboard era from 1998 through 2025.

Third place here reflects both population and the density of school athletics programs distributed across the state. Charlotte, Greensboro, Durham, and the Research Triangle generate large city-by-city totals, but 389 other cities and towns contribute entries too. A school district in a town of 4,000 places the same kind of order as a city district: one scoreboard, one sport, one entry in the record. Over 28 years, those smaller communities build into a significant share of the total.

Of the 2,146 records, 1,969 are scoreboard records and 177 are accessory display records. Accessory displays: shot clocks, play clocks, practice segment timers, locker room clocks, and player stat panels, normally ship in pairs. Those 177 accessory records therefore correspond to a higher unit count, bringing North Carolina's actual display total to 2,284. The 192 distinct models on record reflect the breadth of Electro-Mech's catalog across all sports and the fact that the active model lineup in 1998 differed from the one available in 2025. Variants of the same model are counted as one: the 2350, 2350-C, and LX2350 all appear as the LX2350 in this tally.

These are records of what was sold and shipped, not what is standing today. A scoreboard that shipped to a high school in Durham in 2001 is in the count whether or not it remains in service. A replacement unit shipped to the same address in 2018 adds a second entry under a different model number. Electro-Mech tracks the transaction; the current operating status of any individual display is outside the scope of what this record shows.

Which Models Appear Most Often in North Carolina's Shipping Record?

The LX2350 leads North Carolina's shipping record with 309 records, more than any other single model shipped to the state, followed by the LX2655 at 255 records and the LX1060 at 149.

The top five models in North Carolina are the LX2350 at 309, the LX2655 at 255, the LX1060 at 149, the LX1050 at 105, and the LX1030 at 83. Each count follows the same grouping rule: variants of a model roll up to the base number, so the LX2350-L and 2350-C both count within the LX2350's 309. The remaining scoreboard records spread across the rest of the 192 distinct models on record in the state.

According to our LX2350 spec sheet, the LX2350 is an indoor LED scoreboard designed for basketball and multi-sport use. It measures 9 ft wide by 3 ft tall and weighs 89 lb. Score and clock digits are 12 inches in height; the period digit is 9 inches. The LX2350 draws 1.2 amps at 120 VAC. Its single-cabinet construction uses heavy-duty extruded aluminum framing with rust-free all-aluminum panels, and the LEDs carry a 100,000-hour rating. The multi-sport capability is what makes the LX2350 so common in North Carolina gymnasiums that run basketball, volleyball, and wrestling on the same floor, the scoreboard handles each without a hardware change.

The LX2655 steps up in cabinet height. Our LX2655 spec sheet puts it at 9 ft wide by 5 ft tall and 133 lb. Score and clock digits are also 12 inches; all remaining digits are 9 inches. The LX2655 draws 2.2 amps at 120 VAC. Its single-cabinet construction matches the LX2350's all-aluminum, rust-free build. Both models are available in amber, red, or green LED color options and carry Electro-Mech's five-year warranty. The additional two feet of cabinet height on the LX2655 allows it to display more information simultaneously, which makes it the preferred choice for venues where the game situation panel carries more rows.

The LX1060, LX1050, and LX1030 appear frequently in the North Carolina record but their individual spec sheets were not available for this article. Dimensions, amperage, and digit heights for those models should be confirmed against their own documents at electro-mech.com/manuals-spec-sheets before any purchase or installation decision. The record count for each model is reliable; any specification carried from a different model's card is not.

How Does the Sport Split Break Down Across North Carolina's Record?

Basketball leads North Carolina's sport-by-sport breakdown with 823 records, followed by baseball at 763, football at 413, and all other sports combined at 147.

The basketball total of 823 is the largest single-sport category in the state's record. That result is consistent with the LX2350 and LX2655 leading all models shipped. Both are indoor basketball scoreboards, and reflects the depth of gymnasium programs across North Carolina's high schools, middle schools, and recreation centers. Baseball at 763 is close behind, reflecting the state's broad base of school and community ball-field programs. A scoreboard's sport category in the record identifies the sport it was primarily ordered for; a multi-sport display like the LX2350 ordered for basketball counts as a basketball record even if the gym runs volleyball on the same floor.

Football's 413 records place it third. Each of those records corresponds to an outdoor scoreboard shipped to a field somewhere in the state. The record is silent on the stadium capacity, the school's enrollment size, or the reason for the purchase: it records the model and the sport category, nothing more. Schools in North Carolina evaluating outdoor football scoreboards will find the full LX-series football lineup at electro-mech.com/football. Electro-Mech recommends a minimum outdoor digit height of 11 inches and a viewing distance allowance of 25 feet per inch of digit height: the tighter of the two standard measures, because a scoreboard carries captions that must also be read at distance.

The "other sports" category at 147 records covers soccer, wrestling, volleyball, swimming, track, and any additional sport beyond the three primary categories. Electro-Mech's additional sports catalog is at electro-mech.com/additional-sports. Multi-sport scoreboards ordered for a primary sport other than basketball also fall within this category when appropriate. The 147 figure should be read as a floor, not a ceiling, for non-primary-sport scoreboard activity in the state.

For buyers interested specifically in outdoor baseball scoreboards, the 763 baseball records in North Carolina reflect sustained demand from school programs and community facilities across the state's full geographic range. The full range of Electro-Mech baseball scoreboards is at electro-mech.com/baseball. For basketball and indoor multi-sport, the LX2350 and LX2655 are the two models with the deepest record in North Carolina, as the model-count breakdown in the previous section shows.

Which North Carolina Cities Appear Most in the Shipping Record?

Charlotte leads all North Carolina cities with 155 records, followed by Greensboro at 70, Durham at 45, Concord at 41, Raleigh at 37, and Fayetteville at 35.

Charlotte's 155 records reflect its scale as the state's largest metropolitan area and the concentration of schools, recreational leagues, and athletic organizations that come with it. Greensboro's 70 records place it second, a result consistent with the Triad region's strong base of high school and university athletics. Durham, Concord, Raleigh, and Fayetteville each fall between 35 and 45 records, representing the state's other major population and athletic centers.

Concord's 41 records are notable for a city its size. Raleigh, the state capital and a considerably larger city, carries 37 records, fewer than Concord. The shipping record does not explain this; it records the shipment and the receiving organization, not the purchasing decisions or procurement history behind each order.

Beyond those six cities, the record extends to hundreds of additional cities and towns across North Carolina. Many appear only once or twice: a single school district, a county recreation department, or a youth sports organization that placed one order in the 28-year span. That long tail of smaller communities actually accounts for the majority of the state's 395 entries. No single metropolitan area drives the record; the demand is broad and geographically distributed, from the Outer Banks to the mountain communities in the west.

The full city-by-city listing for North Carolina is publicly available at electro-mech.com/scoreboards-usa-installations/state/north-carolina/. Each entry names the organization, the model, and the sport category for each shipment. The record does not include street addresses, field names, or school building designations: it records what was shipped to which city and organization, as that is what the shipping database captures. Whether that scoreboard went to a gym, a ball field, or a multi-purpose facility, the record is silent.

Who Are the Largest Individual Buyers in North Carolina's Record?

Pinecrest High School, West Rowan High School, South Point High School, and Gaston Christian School are the four largest individual buyers in Electro-Mech's North Carolina shipping record.

These four organizations hold the highest individual entry counts in the state database. The record identifies each by name; it does not say which specific models each organization ordered, which sports each transaction served, or when individual orders shipped. For those details, the record is silent. The full state listing, where each organization's records appear by city, is at electro-mech.com/scoreboards-usa-installations/state/north-carolina/.

Three of the four are public high schools. Gaston Christian School is a private institution, which places it in a smaller buyer category than the public schools above it. An organization reaches a high entry count in the database by placing multiple separate orders over time: different sports, facility expansions, or replacement units, each captured as its own transaction under the same organization name. The record does not combine multiple orders into a single buyer history or indicate whether an organization's count accumulated over five years or twenty-five. That context is outside the scope of what a shipping record shows.

The broad North Carolina record, 2,146 entries across 395 cities, contains many organizations that appear only once. Pinecrest High School, West Rowan High School, South Point High School, and Gaston Christian School are notable precisely because they appear more frequently than any other named organization in the state. What those appearances represent in terms of models ordered, sports served, or years active is information the record does not provide. For the specific history of any organization or city in North Carolina, Electro-Mech's sales team can pull the relevant records directly. Quote requests start at electro-mech.com/request-quote/.

North Carolina's position as the third-ranked state in Electro-Mech's shipping record is the result of 28 years of orders from schools, recreation departments, and athletic programs spread across 395 cities. The LX2350 at 309 records and the LX2655 at 255 reflect the depth of indoor basketball programs across the state; the 413 football records reflect a separate set of outdoor programs. Neither the model counts nor the sport totals tell you anything the record does not show: what was ordered, what model was shipped, and where it went.

For buyers in North Carolina evaluating a first scoreboard or a replacement, the shipping record shows that Electro-Mech has served organizations across this state, from Charlotte to the smallest county seat, for a long time. The LX2350 and LX2655 are both in stock in proven configurations, both carry the five-year warranty, and both are built in Wrightsville, Georgia, where Electro-Mech has manufactured scoreboards since 1963.
