Charlotte, North Carolina is the largest city in our North Carolina sales and shipping record by organization count, with 155 rows distributed across 134 organizations. The Charlotte record refers to every scoreboard order Electro-Mech has on file for the Charlotte area, from the first entry in July 1999 through orders carrying 2025 ship dates. North Carolina as a whole ranks third among all states in our LED scoreboard manufacturing history, and Charlotte contributes a meaningful share of that record.

The city's buying pattern is wide rather than concentrated. Most organizations - schools, YMCAs, churches, recreation departments, athletic associations, and little leagues - appear in the record once. A smaller group of institutions, including Butler High School, Independence High School, and West Charlotte HS, ordered multiple scoreboards across different sports or different years. Both patterns are visible in the full table below. Understanding what Charlotte has ordered over 26 years is the most direct starting point for any organization in the metro area evaluating a comparable purchase from Electro-Mech.

What Does the Charlotte Scoreboard Record Show at a Glance?

Our sales and shipping records for Charlotte, North Carolina hold 155 rows across 134 organizations, shipped between 1999 and 2025, with basketball leading at 65 records.

I find the shape of this record more telling than any individual entry. A review of our 155 Charlotte records shows that 117 of the 134 organizations appear exactly once - breadth rather than concentration defines this city's buying pattern. Public high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, county parks departments, churches, YMCAs, and little leagues all appear, most of them with a single scoreboard on file, as of August 2026.

The sport breakdown confirms what the model picture suggests. Basketball accounts for 65 records, the largest sport category, followed by baseball at 51 and football at 37. Two records carry a sport code of "other." Indoor gym scoreboards drive the majority of Charlotte orders, which is why the LX2340 - an 8-by-4-foot indoor basketball and multi-sport display - leads the model list at 10 records. The pre-LX 2350, the LX1030, and the LX2350 each hold 9 records. The LX3150 follows at 7. Our counts treat variants of the same model as one model: a 2350 and a 2350-C both count toward the 2350 total.

The LX-series vs. pre-LX split adds a second layer to the picture. 112 of the 155 records are LX-series; the remaining 43 are pre-LX models. Pre-LX entries tend to date to the early-to-mid 2000s; LX-series orders run through 2025. The record shows what was shipped - not what is still standing. A shipped scoreboard can sit in storage for months before it goes up.

One address detail matters for anyone reading this as a local reference. ZIP 28208 accounts for 60 of the 155 rows. That reads as a district or central shipping address, not 60 separate venues in one postal code. Several rows ship outside Charlotte entirely: ZIP 28227 is Mint Hill, NC; ZIP 28104 is Matthews, NC; ZIP 28210 is Columbia, SC. One row carries no ZIP at all. Our records file orders under the address used at time of purchase, not where the scoreboard eventually stands. I note this plainly so no reader mistakes a shipping address for a facility location.

A handful of entries in the organization field are order-line labels rather than buyer names - "AUX GYM," "BASEBALL," "FOOTBALL," "SOFTBALL," "Davidson-Gym," "WCWAA Optimist Park," "Whittington Field," and similar. Those are field or facility labels within a larger order. The record does not name the buying organization behind them.

Which Charlotte Organizations Appear in the Electro-Mech Sales and Shipping Record?

North Carolina holds 2,146 records across 395 cities in our database - Charlotte's 155 rows represent one concentrated slice of that statewide total, spread across 134 distinct organizations.

The table below reproduces every row in the Charlotte sales and shipping record exactly as the record spells each organization's name. Multi-record buyers - those with two or more shipments - appear first, in alphabetical order. Single-entry organizations follow in the order they appear in the record. Where the same buyer appears under two or more spellings, each entry keeps its original form. Some entries are order-line labels describing a venue or use rather than a named organization; they are reproduced as the record has them.

The record runs from 1999 to 2025, with the earliest Charlotte entry - Holy Trinity Middle School receiving an MP-328-C football scoreboard in July 1999 - arriving in the same year Electro-Mech first began shipping to the area. The most recent entries, including the Brace Family YMCA LX1030 and the Dowd YMCA pair of an LX2160 and LX2330, carry 2025 ship dates. That 26-year span is the record; the company does not have data on what may have been ordered before then or on returns or replacements after shipment.

In practice, this table is more useful as a directory of Charlotte buyers than as a count of scoreboards currently in use. Some orders sit in storage before installation. The record is what Electro-Mech shipped and when.

What Does an Electro-Mech LX-Series Scoreboard Look Like in Operation?

LX-series scoreboards use all-aluminum construction with red or amber LED arrays designed to be readable at venue distance - the same basic form whether the cabinet hangs in a gymnasium or sits on steel posts at a baseball diamond.

The LX2340 and LX2350 each house all electronics in a single cabinet, with no separate remote display unit required for basic scorekeeping. The ScoreLink RF wireless console connects to the display without a cable run. For a closer look at available models, the Electro-Mech support team can walk through spec sheet details over a call or by email.

Who Buys Scoreboards in Charlotte - and What Does Each Buyer Type Order?

Charlotte's 134 organizations span public schools, YMCA branches, municipal recreation departments, churches and religious schools, athletic associations, and at least one professional franchise.

The buyer mix here tells you something about how a large metro market actually works. Public schools make up the largest single group in the record - Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools campuses appear repeatedly, including Garinger High School, Harding University High School, Independence High School, and more than a dozen middle schools. Many of those school orders arrived in concentrated waves, particularly the cluster of scoreboards shipped on 2014-09-02, when Bradley M.S., Eastway M.S., Randolph M.S., Sedgefield M.S., and several other CMS campuses all received scoreboards in a coordinated district purchase. I have seen this pattern in other large urban districts: when a district decides to upgrade facilities, it often moves across multiple campuses in the same budget cycle rather than staggering by campus.

YMCA branches and recreation departments form a second significant segment. The record includes Johnston Memorial YMCA, the Brace Family YMCA, and Dowd YMCA - the last carrying a 2025 ship date for a pair of scoreboards, an LX2160 and an LX2330. Mecklenburg Parks and Recreation appears under three separate spellings across different order years: Mecklenburg Parks & Rec, Mecklenburg Co.Park & Rec, and Mecklenburg Co.Parks & Rec. Each entry is reproduced exactly as the record shows it.

Religious organizations represent a third category the Charlotte record makes visible. Cathedral of the Cross Christian School, Our Lady of Consolation Church, Cornerstone Baptist Church, Providence Baptist Church, and several others ordered basketball scoreboards across a span of years from 1999 to 2016. Most are single-entry buyers - one scoreboard, one transaction. Churches with gyms and schools share an identical need: a reliable indoor scoreboard that runs on standard 120 VAC without special electrical work.

The most recognizable single entry is the Carolina Panthers, which received an LX7520 football scoreboard in July 2023. The record shows the organization and model; it does not say where that scoreboard was used. A separate entry - E Mecklenburg High School, LX7520 football, August 2013 - shows the same model in a high school setting a decade earlier. Those two LX7520 entries are the only entries of that model across all 155 rows.

North Carolina as a whole shows a similar breadth of buyer types at larger scale. Our statewide record of 2,146 rows covers 395 cities and includes the same range of schools, recreation departments, youth leagues, and community organizations that Charlotte's slice reflects. The takeaway: there is no single buyer profile in this market. A scoreboard company that focuses only on schools or only on large institutions will miss a significant share of the actual demand.

Charlotte's Top Scoreboard Models by Record Count - Quick Reference

The five models appearing most often in the Charlotte sales and shipping record, drawn from 155 rows across 134 organizations:

How Does Charlotte's Model Mix Compare to the North Carolina Statewide Record?

The LX2340 is the most frequently shipped model in the Charlotte record, yet it does not appear among the top five models in North Carolina as a whole - a difference worth understanding.

Within the Charlotte record, the LX2340 leads with 10 entries, followed by the pre-LX model 2350 and the LX2350 (9 entries each), the LX1030 (9 entries), and the LX3150 (7 entries). That LX2340 count reflects a specific buying pattern: it is an 8-foot by 4-foot indoor multi-sport scoreboard well suited to school gymnasiums, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district purchased several in the 2014-2020 period. The model appears at Bradley M.S., CMS K-8 Messer, Carmel Middle School, Eastway M.S., Mountain Island Lake Academy, North Ridge Middle School, Northside Christian Academy, Randolph M.S., Sedgefield M.S., and Wilson MS.

The North Carolina statewide record tells a different story. Statewide, the LX2350 leads with 309 entries, followed by the LX2655 at 255, the LX1060 at 149, the LX1050 at 105, and the LX1030 at 83. The LX2340 does not appear in that top-five ranking, which suggests that while Charlotte's schools lean toward the LX2340's cabinet dimensions, most other North Carolina buyers who want a compact basketball scoreboard have chosen the LX2350. Both are 12-inch digit, single-cabinet indoor scoreboards running on 120 VAC; the difference lies in cabinet dimensions. Our spec sheets put the LX2340 at 8 feet wide by 4 feet tall, and the LX2350 at 9 feet wide by 3 feet tall.

The LX1030 - a baseball and softball scoreboard - ranks near the top in both the Charlotte record and the NC statewide list, which points to consistent demand for dedicated outdoor baseball scoreboards across different market sizes. In Charlotte, it appears for Albenarle Road Middle School, Bradley MS (Softball Field), James Martin Middle School, and several other buyers. Statewide, it ranks fifth with 83 entries. The takeaway: the LX1030 holds its position regardless of market size.

The pre-LX models in Charlotte - entries like the 2350, the 2655, and the 1060 without the LX prefix - date to the early years of the record, from 1999 through roughly 2007. Those older model numbers represent the generation Electro-Mech manufactured before the current LX-series arrived. The shift from pre-LX to LX-series entries is visible in the Charlotte record: 43 pre-LX rows versus 112 LX-series rows. In practice, any Charlotte buyer whose pre-LX scoreboard is still running is working with hardware that is at minimum 15 to 20 years old.

What Should a Charlotte Organization Know Before Ordering an Electro-Mech Scoreboard?

Charlotte organizations across 26 years of record have mostly bought once, which means the scoreboard a school or rec department chooses needs to hold up for a long time without becoming a recurring problem.

The first practical point is lead time. Electro-Mech builds to order; there are no stocked models waiting in a warehouse. A typical order ships in four to six weeks, though some orders run beyond twelve. A Charlotte school planning a late-summer installation for the fall season - the kind of timeline that produced the large 2014 cluster of CMS orders shipped in August and September - should account for that window when setting a delivery expectation. The record shows those orders arrived on schedule, but the timeline needs to be part of the plan.

The second point is sport and model fit. Charlotte's record covers three primary sports: basketball (65 records), baseball and softball (51 records), and football (37 records). Each of those sports has its own scoreboard family. An organization that fields multiple sports - a high school with a gym, a baseball diamond, and a football stadium - will likely need a separate scoreboard for each venue. Independence High School's record illustrates this: three separate scoreboards across three orders, two baseball and one football, shipped between 2013 and 2023.

The third point is that ETL listing to UL Standard 48 applies to Electro-Mech's product line broadly. A school or rec department submitting a facilities permit will typically need that documentation; Electro-Mech can provide it. The five-year limited warranty covers both the display cabinet and the control console. The LED arrays are rated at 100,000 hours of operating life.

For any Charlotte organization that sees its name in the record above - and whose scoreboard was shipped 15 or more years ago - the age of the hardware is worth noting. Pre-LX models in Charlotte date to 1999 through roughly 2007. Whether those scoreboards are still in service, in storage, or have been replaced, the record does not say. If the existing scoreboard is pre-LX and still running, I would recommend reaching out to the Electro-Mech support team to assess whether replacement parts are still available or whether a replacement is the more practical path. Electro-Mech has manufactured scoreboards in Wrightsville, Georgia since 1963, and the support team can advise on any model currently on file.

What Does the Charlotte Record Tell a Buyer Considering an Electro-Mech Scoreboard Today?

Twenty-six years of Charlotte orders show what schools and rec departments actually buy - a practical reference for any organization weighing a purchase now.

The record's range across basketball, baseball, and football venues confirms that Charlotte organizations are evaluating scoreboards for every major venue type. Gyms, diamonds, and stadiums each carry different model requirements, and the Charlotte record reflects all three.

For any organization whose hardware dates to the early 2000s, the first question is whether repair or replacement makes more sense. The display and the control console can each be replaced independently. That serviceability matters for aging equipment, and I would recommend contacting the Electro-Mech support team with the model number before making that call.

The pattern across the full record is consistent: schools, recreation departments, churches, YMCAs, and athletic associations each ordered to fit a specific facility. Charlotte's record is a wide cross-section of the community organizations that make up Electro-Mech's customer base across North Carolina - the third-largest state record we carry. The team in Wrightsville is equipped to answer questions for any organization in that record.
