Kansas Scoreboards: The LX1050, LX1060 and LX2655 Across 106 Records

Electro-Mech's Kansas sales and shipping record is the place to start if you are choosing between an outdoor baseball scoreboard and an indoor gym scoreboard. Two outdoor baseball scoreboards, the LX1050 and LX1060, sit level with one indoor basketball scoreboard, the LX2655. Your sport and your venue decide which of the three is the one to read first.

The tie matters for anyone ordering a scoreboard in Kansas, because the rules on the field and the court have moved. High school basketball now counts team fouls by the quarter, with two free throws on the fifth foul. If your program plays under Little League, Little League publishes its own pitch count breakdowns by league age, with days-of-rest thresholds for each of its divisions.

This guide reads the record model by model. Each scoreboard is set against its own spec sheet. The organizations the record lists are named as the record spells them, and the guide closes with the mounting and power details your contractor needs.

What does Electro-Mech's Kansas sales and shipping record show?

Electro-Mech's Kansas record holds 106 records across 51 cities and towns, shipped from 1999 to 2025, which places Kansas thirtieth of 50 states by units shipped.

Our data, from the Kansas state record snapshot dated 2026-09-14, lists 38 distinct models across those 106 records. Before you use any of these counts, read them the way the record is built:

1. Count one row per organization, model and city. A district that bought the same model twice for the same city is one row.
2. Count variants under their LX equivalent. Our review of the Kansas order lines shows the LX2655 entered as 2655, 2655-PCB and LX2655-LR, and all of them count as the LX2655.
3. Treat each row as a scoreboard sold and shipped to a Kansas address, not as one standing today.
4. Expect one buyer under several names. One Kansas school district appears in the record under three spellings.

The common assumption is that a shipping record shows what hangs in Kansas gyms and stands beside Kansas ball fields right now. The record does not say that. Some orders sit in storage before they go up. The record also does not say why a scoreboard was bought, what it replaced or what it cost.

Two record cards stand behind every count in this section. The state page prints the same two headline counts, 106 records and 51 cities and towns, so a reader can check them directly.

What does that mean for a Kansas buyer? The counts describe demand, not condition. A model with many rows is one that many Kansas organizations chose to order. Fifty-one cities and towns is a wide spread for a state ranked thirtieth.

The record also covers more than one kind of buyer. School districts, youth clubs, cities and a church all appear on the lines for the three leading models. If you want to see how any of these models is documented before you compare them, the Electro-Mech scoreboard manuals page carries the owner handbooks and spec sheets the rest of this article draws from.

Why does baseball lead the Kansas scoreboard record?

Baseball leads Kansas with 52 records, ahead of 34 for basketball, 16 for football and 4 for soccer, so outdoor diamonds outnumber gyms on the record.

The gap holds when you narrow the view to the three leading models. Our data, from the LX1050, LX1060 and LX2655 portion of the Kansas record, shows 39 records at 22 organizations, shipped from 1999 to 2024, split baseball 26 and basketball 13. Two of the three leaders are outdoor baseball and softball scoreboards. The third is an indoor basketball scoreboard.

Baseball's lead is a count, not an explanation. The record does not say why a city, school or youth club ordered a baseball scoreboard rather than another sport's. It shows what shipped, to which kind of buyer and when.

What the record does show is breadth. Kansas baseball orders come from youth clubs and city recreation programs as well as schools. A municipal ball field and a high school diamond both need the same basic information on the scoreboard: runs, hits, errors, innings, balls, strikes and outs.

Pitch tracking sits beside that information in the dugout, not on the scoreboard. In 2016 the NFHS Baseball Rules Committee revised Rule 6-2-6 so that each member state association develops its own pitching restriction policy based on pitches thrown in a game. Little League publishes its own pitch count breakdowns by league age, with days-of-rest thresholds for each division. Neither source sets a Kansas number in this article, and none should be assumed.

For a Kansas buyer, three points follow:

• Baseball is the sport most Kansas organizations on our record ordered for.
• Pitch limits come from the state association or the league, not from the scoreboard.
• The choice inside baseball is about cabinet size and digit height, which the next section compares.

Football and soccer are smaller parts of the Kansas record. If your project is a stadium rather than a diamond, the high school football scoreboards page covers those models separately.

What can you add to an LX1250 for a Kansas baseball field?

Beyond the scoreboard itself, an LX1250 can carry a team name in place of HOME, ID panels with custom graphics, custom paint colors and ScoreLink wireless control.

Our data, from the LX1250 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08), lists a choice of 18 standard paint colors on an automotive grade baked-on enamel face. Custom colors are an option. ID panels come in a variety of sizes, shapes and styles. They mount above or below the scoreboard, or build into the left or right side of the cabinet as an extended configuration.

Control is the next decision. The standard LX1250 package includes a junction box and patch cable for hardwired installations, and optional data cable runs up to 1,000 feet. The ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system removes the cable run, and most customers choose wireless. If your contractor runs cable, tell them it is a separate shielded 2-conductor cable with a drain line, laid directly in a trench and kept apart from power.

Support runs past delivery. The LX1250 carries a five-year limited warranty and toll free technical support by phone and online for the life of the product. Additional warranty and support plans are available if your district wants longer coverage.

How do the LX1050, LX1060 and LX2655 differ, and where do the LX1250 and LX2330 fit?

The LX1050, LX1060 and LX2655 each hold 13 Kansas records. The LX2330 follows with 6 and the LX1250 with 4, and their spec sheets describe five quite different scoreboards.

The tie at the top joins two outdoor baseball and softball scoreboards with one indoor basketball scoreboard. Our data, from each model's own spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08), sets them side by side:

The LX1050 is the smallest permanent outdoor model. Its model page recommends it only where viewing distance stays under 250 feet, because its captions are short.

The LX1060 steps up to a 10 ft x 5 ft cabinet with 18-inch digits and 7-inch captions. Its layout traces back to the electro-mechanical baseball scoreboards of the 1960s.

The LX1250 keeps 18-inch digits but widens the cabinet to 14 ft x 5 ft. Innings run to 19, and bullets flash for Hit and Error.

Indoors, the LX2655 carries removable caption plates for volleyball or wrestling, plus an internal horn. The LX2330 is the compact choice, and its model page suggests it as a secondary display beside a larger primary scoreboard.

Digit size and price move together. A larger digit always costs more, so the real risk is ordering a scoreboard too small for the field. Compare the full layouts on the Electro-Mech basketball scoreboards page before choosing a gym model.

Put the rules your games follow into the quote request. A plain text note like this one is enough.

Field: outdoor baseball / softball
Model asked about: LX1250 or LX1250-ETN
Pitching rules we follow: Little League pitch count by league age
Gym: indoor basketball
Model asked about: LX2330
Foul rule we follow: NFHS Rule 4-8-1, team fouls reset each quarter

Your rulebook comes first. The model choice follows it.

What does the three-way tie at the top of the Kansas record hide?

The tie hides two different buying patterns: basketball orders cluster on one school district's line, while baseball orders spread across a youth club and city programs.

Our review of the organization lines for the LX1050, LX1060 and LX2655 shows the split clearly. U.S.D.501 Service Center in Topeka, Kansas, which the record also spells "Topeka Public Schools" and "U.S.D. 501 Service Center", carries 8 entries, and every one is an LX2655 variant for basketball. Two Rivers Youth Club in Wichita, Kansas, carries 3 baseball entries. The City of Beloit in Beloit, Kansas, the City of Scranton in Scranton, Kansas, and First Baptist Church in Arkansas City, Kansas, each carry one.

Read the table by organization before you read it by model. Find the row whose buyer looks most like yours, a district, a city, a youth club or a church, and treat its model and ship dates as your closest example. If no row matches, ask the Electro-Mech team which model a buyer like you would start from, and request that model's spec sheet.

The record also stays silent on much a buyer would want. If a nearby row interests you, the organization's own staff can tell you more than a ship date can. Order spellings such as 2655-PCB do not show whether a scoreboard carried Electronic Team Names, which changes the LX2655's electrical figure.

Nor does a shipping record show how a project went on site. A 2026 thread on r/Wellthatsucks showed a new high school LED wall falling during installation, and one commenter wrote, "LED walls are expensive, but so is the foundation and court they damaged." Installation planning deserves as much attention as the model number.

How should a small Kansas high school or rec league choose an affordable scoreboard?

Start with the sport and the setting, then plan the site work: a post-mounted LX2655 calls for two posts in reinforced concrete footings and its own dedicated 120 VAC circuit.

Affordability comes from fit, not from the lowest line in a catalog. A 2022 cost guide from a scoreboard cost-calculator site argued that the type of scoreboard drives total cost more than size, location or competition level. The same guide claimed that reusing existing mounting hardware should cut total cost, but only once an expert confirms the old hardware can carry the new display. Treat both as a seller's claims. The useful point stands anyway: site work is part of the price.

For a Kansas school or league, four decisions come in order:

1. Confirm the sport and the setting. An outdoor baseball field and an indoor gym need different cabinets, and the spec table above shows how far apart those cabinets sit.
2. Measure to the farthest seat before you compare digit heights. A scoreboard sized too small for the venue is a price decision, not a saving.
3. Decide on Electronic Team Names before you order. ETN changes a model's amperage, and your electrician plans the circuit around that figure.
4. Brief your contractor on mounting and power. The details below come straight from the owner handbook.

For contractors, our LX2655 owner handbook sets out the site work. Where the scoreboard goes on posts, it attaches at four mounting points on the rear, and the mounting hardware takes steel pipe or I-beam posts up to 4.5 inches outer diameter. Angle the front away from the afternoon sun to reduce glare. Post and footing specifications follow local building codes for wind, soil and scoreboard height.

On the power side, the handbook calls for a weatherproof disconnect at the scoreboard, power cable run in conduit, and a grounded NEMA 5-15R receptacle for the control console at the scorekeeper's table. All electrical work follows the NEC and local codes.

Those answers make two quotes comparable. Send them with your quote request, and the Electro-Mech team can price the model that fits your field or gym. Site work belongs in the budget from the first conversation.

What should a Kansas buyer take from the record?

Buy for the sport and the rules you play under, because the Kansas record shows baseball holding 52 of the 106 records and no single model leading.

The record says what shipped and when. Use it to find Kansas organizations of your own kind, then check their models against your sport and your venue. If none appears, let your sport, your venue and your rulebook decide the model on their own.

The order of decisions matters more than the model number. Start with your rulebook. Then measure your field or gym. Then pick the model whose spec sheet fits both, and decide on Electronic Team Names before the order is placed. Send those answers to the Electro-Mech team with your quote request, and the model choice follows from them.
