Quick Answer

Electro-Mech's Cincinnati, Ohio record covers 24 entries at 20 organizations, shipped 2003 to 2024 across basketball (10), football (7), baseball (5), and hockey (2). The LX2665 leads at 4 entries and the LX2350 follows at 3; the LX8850 accounts for both hockey entries. Cincinnati's 2 hockey records equal 25 percent of Ohio's 8 statewide hockey entries. The LX7620 appears twice but is a portable practice segment timer, not a game scoring display. Sixteen different model numbers appear across the 24 entries.

Did this answer your question?

Most scoreboard databases tell you scores. Electro-Mech's own sales and shipping record tells you something different: what was built, where it was shipped, and when. For Cincinnati, Ohio, that record runs to 24 entries across 20 organizations, covering dates from 2003 to 2024 and four sports: basketball, football, baseball, and hockey.

The distribution is the article's central finding. Basketball leads at 10 entries, as it does across Ohio broadly, but Cincinnati's four-sport spread is more even than in most Ohio cities. Hockey registers just 8 statewide entries across 366 total Ohio records, and Cincinnati holds 2 of those 8. Both of Cincinnati's hockey entries match the LX8850, an indoor display tracking Points, Shots on Goal, and Penalty Times for two players per team simultaneously.

Three other model groups account for most of the remaining entries. The LX2665 leads Cincinnati at 4 entries, built for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling in a 10-foot by 5-foot cabinet. The LX2350 follows at 3 and the LX2655 at 2. One model group in the record, the LX7620, is not a game scoring display at all. It is a portable practice segment timer, and the record includes it alongside the scoring displays without marking it separately.

Five organizations from the record are named in this article, with the entries the record lists for each. Among them, Delta Electrical Contractors holds two entries from January 2017, and Xavier High holds the most recent entry in the entire record, dated May 2024. The article states what the record says and stops there: these are displays Electro-Mech sold and shipped to Cincinnati addresses, not a current inventory of what is installed or in use today.

Electro-Mech's sales and shipping record for Cincinnati, Ohio shows 24 entries at 20 organizations, shipped between 2003 and 2024, across four sports and sixteen different model numbers. Basketball leads with 10 of the 24 entries; hockey accounts for only 2, yet those two hockey entries equal a quarter of all 8 hockey records Electro-Mech holds across the entire state of Ohio. The leading model is the LX2665, an indoor display for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling at 10 ft by 5 ft and 150 lb, with 4 entries in the record. The LX2350, at 9 ft by 3 ft and 89 lb, follows at 3 entries, and the LX8850, a 12 ft by 5 ft indoor hockey display at 215 lb, appears twice, as do the LX2655 and the LX7620. One model group in the record, the LX7620, is not a game scoring display; it is a portable practice segment timer that the record includes alongside the scoring displays without marking it differently. Five organizations from the record are named in this article, with the entries the record lists for each.

How does Electro-Mech's Cincinnati record break down across 24 entries?

Electro-Mech's sales and shipping record for Cincinnati, Ohio covers 24 entries at 20 organizations, with dates running from 2003 to 2024 and four sports represented.

Basketball leads the city count with 10 entries. Football follows at 7, baseball at 5, and hockey at 2. That mix is more evenly distributed than in most Ohio cities. The statewide record shows basketball dominating at 162 of Ohio's 366 total records, with baseball second at 96 and football third at 81. Hockey registers just 8 statewide entries across all 151 cities and towns in the record. Cincinnati's two hockey entries equal 25 percent of Ohio's entire hockey count, a share no other single city in the state approaches, as of .

The 24 entries spread across 20 organizations. Not all of them are schools or recreation departments. Some entries belong to electrical contractors, and those contractor organizations appear in the record the same way any other entry does: by model, sport, and ship date. What the contractor then did with a display is not in the record. Some entries may also reflect facility labels rather than institutional buyers; the record names what it names and does not specify.

Sport Cincinnati Entries Ohio Statewide Entries
Basketball 10 162
Football 7 81
Baseball 5 96
Hockey 2 8
Total 24 366 (all sports)

By model, the LX2665 leads with 4 entries, the LX2350 follows with 3, and the LX2655, the LX7620, and the LX8850 each appear twice. The remaining 11 entries carry a different model number each: the LX1030, LX1050, LX1070, LX1250 and LX1700 in baseball, the LX2160 in basketball, and the LX3120, LX3320, LX7520, a 3250 and a pre-LX 3530 in football. Sixteen model numbers appear across the 24 entries in all. One of those model groups, the LX7620, is a portable practice segment timer, not a game scoring display. The record includes it the same way it includes any other shipped display; the article addresses it in detail below.

Ohio as a state ranks 18th of 50 states by Electro-Mech units shipped, with 366 records spread across 151 cities and towns. Cincinnati's 24 entries make it one of the more concentrated single-city totals in that record. The models in Cincinnati's record span both pre-LX and LX-series product lines, with the oldest entry from 2003 and the most recent from 2024, two full decades of the company's LED scoreboard history represented in one city's shipping list.

Electro-Mech has been building scoreboards in Wrightsville, Georgia since 1963 and has produced LED scoreboards for roughly 28 years. The over-180 standard models in the catalog cover all sports. Cincinnati's record reflects that breadth: basketball, football, baseball, and hockey each appear among the 24 entries, with no sport absent and no single sport accounting for more than 42 percent of the total. The OHSAA governs high school athletics across the state, and the variety of sports in Cincinnati's record tracks closely with the Ohio high school athletic calendar.

What does the LX2665 offer, and why does it lead the Cincinnati record?

Four of Cincinnati's 24 entries carry the LX2665, an indoor display designed for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling, built in a 10-foot by 5-foot aluminum cabinet. Three entries list the model on its own; the fourth pairs it with an LX2056 on a single line of the record.

The LX2665 spec sheet puts the weight at 150 pounds. Digit height is 12 inches for Guest Team Points, Home Team Points, and the Period Clock; the remaining numerals measure 9 inches. Bonus and Possession indicators are 3 inches. The standard LX2665 draws 1.7 amps at 120 VAC. The LX2665-ETN, which incorporates Electronic Team Names, draws 2.5 amps at 120 VAC. LED colors across the cabinet are amber, red, and green.

What distinguishes the LX2665 from a single-sport basketball display is the reversible caption design. Along the bottom of the cabinet, three removable metal plates carry alternate labels: WON / GAMES / WON for volleyball and POINTS / MATCH / POINTS for wrestling. A gym that runs basketball in winter, wrestling in late winter, and volleyball in fall can use a single LX2665 throughout the school year without swapping displays. The model is also available in a center-hung, four-sided configuration for facilities where seating surrounds all sides of the court.

The LX2665 ranks third among the most-shipped models in Electro-Mech's Ohio statewide record, at 21 entries. The LX2655 leads Ohio at 28 entries and the LX2350 follows at 23. In Cincinnati specifically, the LX2665's 4 entries place it ahead of every other model in the city's count. The LX2665 and LX2655 together account for 6 of Cincinnati's 24 entries, and both are indoor multi-sport designs serving overlapping applications; the distinction between them comes down to cabinet size, weight, and caption configuration.

Among the organizations named in this article, Delta Electrical Contractors in Cincinnati, Ohio received an LX2665 listed under basketball in January 2017, alongside an LX2160 entry on the same date. Delta is an electrical contractor. The record shows what shipped to their address; it does not state which facility the displays were installed in or who requested them.

Standard equipment on the LX2665 includes heavy-duty extruded aluminum framing, a data output port that supports daisy chaining additional displays, a goal light output port for optional LED backboard goal light kits, and a full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display. The ScoreLink RF wireless modem system is available as an option, allowing wireless communication between the console and the display. The five-year limited warranty covers the display from the date of purchase, and toll-free technical support is available for the life of the product. For facilities looking at a multi-sport indoor display that covers the most common gym sports on one cabinet, the LX2665 is the model the Cincinnati record places at the top of the city's count.

Spec sheets and documentation for the LX2665, LX2350, and LX8850 are available on the Electro-Mech website. The LX2665 spec sheet covers cabinet dimensions, digit heights, electrical requirements, and available options. The LX8850 model page includes the full specification and documentation for the indoor hockey display. For video demonstrations, Electro-Mech maintains product resources at electro-mech.com.

What are the LX2350's specifications, and how does it appear in the Cincinnati record?

Three of Cincinnati's entries match the 2350 designation, Electro-Mech's compact indoor basketball and multi-sport display at 9 feet wide and 3 feet tall; two of the three are recorded without the LX prefix.

The LX2350 spec sheet puts the cabinet at 9 ft by 3 ft and 89 pounds, notably lighter and smaller than the LX2665 at 10 ft by 5 ft and 150 lb. Digit height is 12 inches for Guest Team Points, Home Team Points, and the Period Clock; the Period digit measures 9 inches. Bonus and Possession indicators are 3 inches. The LX2350 draws 1.2 amps at 120 VAC; the LX2350-ETN draws 1.9 amps at 120 VAC. LED colors are amber, red, and green, with fifty programmable brightness levels.

The LX2350 model page describes the built-in Bonus and Possession indicators as the detail that identifies the display as basketball-first, while noting its layout handles "almost any sport." The cabinet width, described by Electro-Mech as slightly wider than comparable offerings, leaves room for ID panels carrying advertising or team logos without the display looking crowded. An internal horn is standard, as is a 4-digit game clock in MM:SS format, home and guest scores, and period tracking.

High school basketball rules add a specific scoreboard consideration. According to NFHS, Rule 4-8-1 has required two free throws for all common fouls once the opponent commits five team fouls in a quarter since the 2023-24 season, replacing the prior one-and-one system and adding a per-quarter foul count that scoreboard operators must track. The LX2350's Bonus indicators handle this display requirement. NFHS also approved a 35-second shot clock for state-by-state adoption beginning with the 2022-23 season; states that have adopted it require shot clock displays in addition to the main scoreboard, and the LX2350's data output port supports daisy chaining optional shot clock displays into the same control system.

The data output port supports connections up to 1,000 feet of data cable in hardwired installations. ScoreLink RF wireless communication is available as an option, and most customers choose wireless over hardwired cable. The LX2350-ETN variant adds Electronic Team Names to the display for an additional amperage draw of 0.7 amps above the base model.

For multi-sport gyms where a single display must cover basketball's core statistics (score, clock, period, fouls) at a compact cabinet footprint, the LX2350 represents the entry-level option within the LX-series indoor line. Three entries in Cincinnati's record carry the 2350 designation, all of them categorized under basketball. The LX2350 also ranks second among Ohio's most-shipped models at 23 statewide entries, behind only the LX2655's 28.

LX-Series Indoor Model Specifications: Three Models in Cincinnati's Record

Model Sport Category Cabinet Size Weight Digit Heights Power (Base) Power (ETN)
LX2665 Indoor Basketball / Volleyball / Wrestling 10 ft x 5 ft 150 lb 12 in, 9 in 1.7 A, 120 VAC 2.5 A, 120 VAC
LX2350 Indoor Basketball / Multi-Sport 9 ft x 3 ft 89 lb 12 in, 9 in 1.2 A, 120 VAC 1.9 A, 120 VAC
LX8850 Indoor Hockey 12 ft x 5 ft 215 lb 12 in, 9 in 2.7 A, 120 VAC 3.5 A, 120 VAC

Sources: the LX2665, LX2350 and LX8850 spec sheets. ETN (Electronic Team Names) variants draw additional amperage above the base model. All three models run on 120 VAC, 60 Hz. Specs apply to named models; base and ETN variants differ.

What does the LX8850 track, and what do Cincinnati's two hockey entries represent statewide?

Cincinnati's two hockey entries in the record both match the LX8850, and together they represent a quarter of the eight hockey records Electro-Mech holds across all of Ohio.

The LX8850 spec sheet puts the cabinet at 12 ft by 5 ft and 215 pounds, the largest of the three featured models by both dimensions and weight. Digit height is 12 inches for Guest Points, Home Points, and the Period Clock; all remaining digits are 9 inches. The LX8850 draws 2.7 amps at 120 VAC; the LX8850-ETN draws 3.5 amps at 120 VAC. LED colors are amber, red, and green.

The LX8850 tracks more statistics per team than any other model in the Cincinnati record. For each team simultaneously, it displays Points, Shots on Goal, and Penalty Times for two players. The model page describes the display as built "for serious Hockey enthusiasts only," noting that the color-coded digit groups make it straightforward for operators and spectators to locate the statistic they need during active play. Penalty time tracking is the detail that separates an ice hockey scoreboard from a basketball or football design: the display must run individual penalty countdowns for two players per team while simultaneously advancing the period clock and tracking scores. The LX8850 handles all of that on one cabinet.

Hockey is rare in Electro-Mech's Ohio statewide record. The eight hockey entries across 366 total Ohio records represent just over 2 percent of the state count. Basketball accounts for 162 of those 366, and baseball for 96. That Cincinnati holds 2 of Ohio's 8 hockey entries reflects the city's skating infrastructure; Cincinnati and the surrounding area support several indoor ice rinks that operate year-round competitive and recreational hockey. The record does not identify which facilities received the two LX8850 displays, but the hockey categorization makes the intended use plain.

At 215 pounds and a 12-foot by 5-foot cabinet, the LX8850 requires more substantial wall mounting than the 150-pound LX2665 or the 89-pound LX2350. Mounting hardware for permanent installation is included. The full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display is standard, as is an internal horn. The data output port supports daisy chaining additional displays, and ScoreLink RF wireless communication is available as an option. The five-year limited warranty applies from the date of purchase.

For any facility serving ice hockey in Cincinnati, the LX8850 is the model the city's record points to as Electro-Mech's indoor hockey solution. Both entries in the record are categorized under hockey; both match the LX8850. No other hockey-capable model appears in Cincinnati's 24-entry list, and the LX8850 model page and spec sheet are available at electro-mech.com/hockey/scoreboard-lx8850/ for full current specifications.

Before

Before and After: How to Count the Models in Cincinnati's Record

After

Without the LX7620 distinction

Counting all 24 entries uniformly produces a model list that places the LX7620 alongside the LX2665, LX2350, LX2655, and LX8850 as though all are game scoring displays. By that count the LX7620 sits level with the LX2655 and the LX8850 at 2 entries each. The result overstates the number of competitive scoring displays in the city and gives no indication that two of the 24 entries serve a fundamentally different purpose.

With the LX7620 correctly identified

The LX7620 is a portable practice segment timer. Setting its two entries aside leaves 22 game scoring displays: the LX2665 at 4 entries, the LX2350 at 3, the LX2655 and the LX8850 at 2 each, and 11 entries carrying a different model number each. Reading the record accurately requires that distinction, not because it changes the total, but because it changes what the total represents.

Which Cincinnati organizations appear in the record by name, and what limits apply to the data?

Five organizations from the record appear below by name, with the entries the record lists for each. The full list of twenty is on Electro-Mech's Cincinnati installations page.

Those five organizations, with what the record shows for each entry:

  • Delta Electrical Contractors, Cincinnati, Ohio: two entries dated January 23, 2017, an LX2160 and an LX2665, both listed under basketball. Delta is an electrical contractor. The record shows what shipped to their address; which facility those displays served is not in the record.
  • Indian Hill, Cincinnati, Ohio: one entry dated July 12, 2010, a 3530 listed under football. The 3530 is a pre-LX model from the earlier part of the company's LED scoreboard history.
  • Rothenberg School, Cincinnati, Ohio: one entry dated November 1, 2012, an LX2655 listed under basketball.
  • St Dominic, Cincinnati, Ohio: one entry dated June 10, 2019, an LX2655 listed under basketball.
  • Xavier High, Cincinnati, Ohio: one entry dated May 20, 2024, an LX7520 listed under football. This is the most recent of the five named entries in the record.
Organization Model Sport Ship Date
Delta Electrical Contractors LX2160 Basketball 2017-01-23
Delta Electrical Contractors LX2665 Basketball 2017-01-23
Indian Hill 3530 Football 2010-07-12
Rothenberg School LX2655 Basketball 2012-11-01
St Dominic LX2655 Basketball 2019-06-10
Xavier High LX7520 Football 2024-05-20

These six entries account for 6 of the 24 total records. The other 18 entries belong to 15 further organizations, listed in full on Electro-Mech's Cincinnati installations page.

The LX7620 deserves a specific note. Two entries in the Cincinnati record carry the LX7620 designation, and the LX7620 is not a game scoring display. It is a portable practice segment timer, one of three such display models Electro-Mech sells, two of which are portable. A practice segment timer marks intervals between practice segments and signals transitions with an audible horn. It is distinct from the scoring displays that track team points, clocks, and period information during a competition. The two LX7620 entries in Cincinnati represent practice timing equipment. Counting them among the scoring displays in the record would misrepresent what those two entries are.

What the record cannot say, for any of the 24 entries: whether the display remains in service today, whether it replaced an earlier unit, what the purchase cost, or which specific building or field received it. These constraints apply to every entry in a sales and shipping record. The record is evidence of what Electro-Mech sold and shipped to a Cincinnati address, not an installation roster or a current equipment inventory. The oldest entry dates to 2003 and the most recent to 2024; what happened to any display after shipment is outside the scope of what the record captures.

Cincinnati, Ohio: Electro-Mech Shipping Record at a Glance

  • 24 total entries in the record
  • 20 organizations on record
  • 2003 to 2024 date range (21 years)
  • 10 basketball entries, the most of any sport
  • 7 football entries
  • 5 baseball entries
  • 2 hockey entries, 25% of Ohio's 8 statewide hockey records
  • LX2665 leads by model: 4 entries (indoor basketball / volleyball / wrestling)
  • LX2350 follows at 3 entries (indoor basketball / multi-sport)
  • LX8850 accounts for both hockey entries (indoor hockey, 12 ft x 5 ft)
  • LX7620 (2 entries): a portable practice segment timer, not a game scoring display
  • 16 different model numbers across the 24 entries

Cincinnati's 24-entry record is precise about what it captures and silent about what it does not. Four sports, sixteen model numbers, a date range from 2003 to 2024, and five organizations named here: that is what the record establishes. The LX2665 leads the city at 4 entries, the LX2350 follows at 3, and the LX2655, the LX7620 and the LX8850 each appear twice. The hockey count, 2 of Ohio's 8 statewide hockey entries, is the detail that most distinguishes Cincinnati from the broader Ohio record. For facilities evaluating an indoor display, the models in this record serve as a useful reference: the LX2665 model page, the LX8850 model page, and the full Cincinnati record at electro-mech.com/scoreboards-usa-installations/state/ohio/cincinnati/ provide the spec sheets, documentation, and shipping history for further research. Lead times run four to six weeks in most cases; contact the Electro-Mech team directly for a current quote.

Frequently Asked Questions: Cincinnati Scoreboards

What is the most common Electro-Mech model in Cincinnati's shipping record?

The LX2665 is the most common at 4 entries. The LX2350 follows at 3, and the LX2655, LX7620, and LX8850 each appear twice; the other 11 entries carry a different model number each. Note that the LX7620 entries are for a portable practice segment timer, not a game scoring display.

Why does Cincinnati hold 25 percent of Ohio's hockey records?

Ohio's statewide shipping record holds 8 total hockey entries across 366 records in 151 cities. Cincinnati has 2 of those 8. Both match the LX8850, an indoor hockey display tracking Points, Shots on Goal, and Penalty Times for two players per team. The city's skating infrastructure, with several indoor ice rinks serving competitive and recreational hockey, accounts for the concentration.

Is the LX7620 a scoreboard?

No. The LX7620 is a portable practice segment timer, one of three such display models Electro-Mech produces. It times intervals between practice segments and sounds an audible horn at each transition. It does not display game scores, running clocks, or period information during competition. The two LX7620 entries in Cincinnati's record are practice timing equipment.

What electrical supply does the LX8850 require?

The LX8850 spec sheet shows the standard LX8850 draws 2.7 amps at 120 VAC. The LX8850-ETN draws 3.5 amps at 120 VAC. Both versions run on a standard 120-volt supply, the same as the LX2665 and LX2350 in this record.

Does the Cincinnati shipping record confirm these displays are still in service?

No. The record shows what was sold and shipped to a Cincinnati address. It does not state whether a display is installed, still in use, or has been replaced. The oldest entry is from 2003; the most recent from 2024. What happened after each shipment is not in the record.

Which Cincinnati organizations does this article name?

Five: Delta Electrical Contractors, Indian Hill, Rothenberg School, St Dominic, and Xavier High. Those five account for 6 of the 24 entries. The full list of twenty organizations is on Electro-Mech's Cincinnati installations page.
