Quick Answer

Electro-Mech's sales and shipping record for the Knoxville, Tennessee area contains 113 order lines across 66 distinct organizations, spanning 1999 through September 2025 and covering baseball, basketball, football, and other displays. No single model dominates: the most-recorded scoreboard model, the basketball-court LX2350 and the pre-LX 2350-C, each appear only 6 times, and the record's 26 years include 50 pre-LX order lines and 63 LX-series lines. Tennessee as a whole accounts for 1,784 records across 261 cities, ranking fifth among all 50 states in Electro-Mech's nationwide total of 24,786 records.

The Short Answer

The Knoxville record shows a market served by high schools, recreation departments, youth leagues, private schools, and one NCAA Division I university, each ordering for a different sport and a different venue. Baseball orders outnumber basketball and football orders, which is the inverse of the pattern you might expect from a media market dominated by University of Tennessee football. The record does not tell us why any individual purchase was made; it tells us what Electro-Mech shipped and when.

What Does Electro-Mech's Knoxville Sales and Shipping Record Contain?

Our sales and shipping records for Knoxville, Tennessee hold 113 entries across 66 entries in the organization field, covering orders shipped from 1999 through 2025.

No single model dominates this record. The most-recorded models are the 2350-C and the LX2350 at 6 entries each, followed by the LX1730 at 5, the LX1340 at 4, and the 2655-CB at 3. Every other model in the file appears once or twice. That distribution tells you something concrete about how Knoxville organizations buy: one scoreboard at a time, on their own schedules, for their own facilities, not through coordinated fleet orders. When South Doyle High School placed a multi-unit order in the spring of 2005, it was notable precisely because the rest of the record is almost uniformly single-line entries from individual schools or programs, as of September 2026.

The sport-code breakdown, as recorded on the order lines, runs as follows:

The sport code is a field on the order line, not a statement about the sport a scoreboard was ultimately used for. A scoreboard ordered under a baseball code can serve softball or another sport at the same facility. The record reports the code as entered; end use is beyond what the record says.

On the model-series question, the 113 entries divide into 63 LX-series records and 50 pre-LX records. Pre-LX models, covering everything from the MM-series through the early four-digit lines, represent the older half of the Knoxville file. New orders from roughly 2010 onward land almost entirely in the LX column.

I want to be precise about what this record is and is not. These are records of what Electro-Mech sold and shipped. A shipped scoreboard can sit in storage for months or years before anyone puts it on posts. The record captures the transaction, not the installation or the current location of any scoreboard. Where the record is silent, such as why a scoreboard was bought, what it replaced, or what it cost, I am not going to speculate.

Knoxville sits within Tennessee's broader picture as well. According to our sales and shipping records, Tennessee holds 1,784 total records across 261 cities and towns, ranking it fifth of fifty states by units shipped in the nationwide total of 24,786. Knoxville's 113 records represent one of the larger city concentrations in the state, though the city has never produced a single-organization fleet purchase large enough to put one model or one buyer in an obviously dominant position. That absence is the defining fact about this record.

Which Organizations Appear Most Often, and What Explains the Pattern?

County high schools lead the Knoxville record, not private academies, and the gap at the top belongs to South Doyle High School with 6 records, the highest count of any organization in the city file.

The organizations with the most records, spelled exactly as the record has them:

None of these high-record organizations share purchase dates with each other. South Doyle High School placed its six orders across three dates in 2002 and 2005; Halls High School spread its five orders across four separate years spanning 2004 through 2020. Bearden High School's four orders came in 2004, 2005, and 2016. Knox Youth Sports placed all four of its orders on a single date in March 2015, purchasing four different LX1060 variants for the same baseball program at once. The typical pattern, however, is one school buying one scoreboard when its own budget and project timeline aligned, with no coordination visible between neighboring schools or any district-wide procurement round.

Several spelling questions run through the organization column, and I want to be direct about each one rather than silently merging spellings the record keeps separate.

Christian Academy (3 records: 2003, 2011, 2013) and Christian Academy of Knoxville (4 records: 2006, 2013) appear as distinct entries. The record does not resolve whether these are the same school under different name spellings or two different institutions. Both spellings appear in this article exactly as the record has them. Separately, CAK (Christian Academy of Knoxville) appears as a single-record entry from 2002; the record does not settle whether that entry belongs to the same buyer as "Christian Academy of Knoxville."

Hall High School (2 records, both from 2014) and Halls High School (5 records, 2004-2020) appear as separate entries. They are probably the same school. The record does not confirm it.

South Doyle High School (6 records) and South Doyal High School (1 record, 2019) differ by one letter. Both spellings are in the record and both appear in the complete table below.

N.W. Youth Sports (1 record) and N.W.Youth Sports (1 record, no space after the period) appear as separate entries on consecutive dates in 2003. They are almost certainly the same organization. The record carries both spellings.

Knoxville Catholic High School (2 records), Knoxville Catholic (2 records), and Knoxville Catholic School (1 record) appear as three distinct entries across different years.

Several entries in the organization field are not organizations at all. They are labels, a ball field name, a park name, a sport label, or a contractor name entered in the organization column as a descriptor rather than a buyer name. The record carries these as filed: Ball Camp Sports Complex, Baseball, Baseball Sports Construction, CESO Softball, Lakeshore Park, Nicholas Ball Park, Ridley Helton Field, and Softball. None of these entries should be read as a school, a recreation league, or any identifiable customer. They are line labels on the order, and the record does not supply a customer name behind them.

Two rows in the file sit under Farragut High School. Farragut is a separate incorporated municipality to the west of Knoxville, not a Knoxville neighborhood. The record files those rows under the Knoxville city heading by convention. The record is silent about the physical location of the scoreboard beyond the shipping address on file.

What Do the LX2350, LX1730, and LX1340 Look Like, and What Do Their Specs Say?

The LX2350 and LX1730 are the two leading LX-series models in the Knoxville record, and both have published spec sheets with specific, verifiable figures; the LX1340 holds four records under a baseball sport code but its numbers come from a different spec sheet not reproduced here.

LX2350: Indoor Basketball and Multi-Sport Scoreboard

The LX2350 is an indoor LED scoreboard built for basketball and multi-sport use. According to our spec sheets, it measures 9 ft wide by 3 ft tall and weighs 89 lb, single-cabinet construction with heavy-duty extruded aluminum framing. The electrical requirement is 1.2 amps at 120 VAC.

Digit heights from the LX2350 spec sheet and cutsheet: the four-digit game clock, home score, and guest score are all 12 inches tall. The period indicator is 9 inches. Bonus and possession indicators are 3 inches. Available in amber, red, and green LED displays, with fifty programmable brightness levels.

Electro-Mech recommends 25 feet of viewing distance per inch of digit height for scoreboards, tighter than the sign industry's general allowance of 50 feet per inch, because a scoreboard also carries caption labels that must be readable alongside the score digits. Applying that standard to the LX2350's 12-inch primary digits, the recommended maximum viewing distance is 300 feet. For most high school gymnasiums and recreation center courts, that figure is more than adequate from any seat in the building.

LX1730: Outdoor Baseball and Softball Scoreboard

The LX1730 is an outdoor LED scoreboard for baseball and softball. According to our spec sheets, the LX1730-ETN variant measures 20 ft wide by 6.5 ft tall and weighs 380 lb. The electrical requirement is 6.6 amps at 120 VAC. The LX1730 includes built-in Electronic Team Names (ETNs), which display programmable team names in 7-inch characters across the top of the cabinet.

Digit heights from the LX1730-ETN spec sheet: Ball, Strike, Out, and Batter Number digits are 18 inches tall; all other digits are 15 inches tall. At Electro-Mech's 25-foot-per-inch standard, the 18-inch ball-strike-out digits support a recommended viewing distance of 450 feet, and the 15-inch digits support 375 feet. Most high school and recreation-league baseball fields have farthest seating well within those distances, though a scoreboard also has to be readable to players and officials at the field level, not only to spectators.

The LX1730 includes a full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display and fifty programmable brightness levels. About four of five Electro-Mech customers choose the wireless ScoreLink RF console over a wired cable run; both options control the same scoreboard functions.

LX1340: Baseball Scoreboard

The LX1340 holds four records in the Knoxville file, all under a baseball sport code. It appears in orders from Allen Sign Company, Knox Co.Parks & Rec, Karns Little League, Ridley Helton Field, and Farragut Youth League, ranging from 2015 to 2025. Variants in the record include the LX1340-L and LX1340-LR alongside the base LX1340. For exact digit heights, amperage, and cabinet dimensions on the LX1340, the spec sheet is the right source; contact Electro-Mech or visit the spec sheets page at electro-mech.com for the current document.

Model Comparison: LX2350 and LX1730

Both models use rust-free, all-aluminum cabinet construction with extruded aluminum framing. Both use LED displays with fifty programmable brightness levels. The key difference is scale and application: the LX2350 is a compact indoor display; the LX1730 is a large outdoor baseball scoreboard with built-in ETN capability.

Knoxville-Area Model Families at a Glance

The 113 order lines in the Knoxville record span roughly four decades of Electro-Mech production. The table below groups those model numbers by family to show how the catalog evolved across the record's 1999-to-2025 timespan.

BASKETBALL SCOREBOARDS
  Pre-LX family:   2350, 2350-C, 2550, 2550-C, 2650-C, 2655-C, 2655-CB,

* LX3050 and pre-LX 3050 are the LX3050 Play Clock Set (ships in pairs).
  They are accessory displays, not scoreboards.

The variety is notable. No single model or model family claims a plurality of the Knoxville record. That breadth reflects a market served by public schools, private schools, recreation departments, youth leagues, and one NCAA Division I university program, each with different venue dimensions and budget profiles.

How Has the Knoxville Record Shifted from Pre-LX Models to the LX Series?

Pre-LX models account for 50 of the 113 Knoxville records and cluster heavily in the earliest part of the file; by the time the record moves into the 2010s, nearly every new entry is an LX-series scoreboard.

The oldest entry in the file is a 2655-C basketball scoreboard shipped to Knoxville Catholic High School in October 1999. That scoreboard is pre-LX. The next cluster of records, from 2001 through the mid-2000s, also runs heavily pre-LX: MM-series baseball scoreboards, 2655-C and 2665-C basketball models, 2350-C and 2655-CB gymnasium displays, and multi-unit orders at South Doyle High School that included models such as the MM-128-C, 1250, 1550-PC, 3580-PC, 2655-PC, and 2655-PCB.

The LX series begins appearing in the record in the mid-2000s and becomes the clear majority by 2010. The Hardin Valley High School orders in 2008 include both pre-LX models (2350, 1060, 3260, 3050) that year, showing the transition period in action. By 2013, new Knoxville orders are arriving almost entirely in the LX column: LX3680, LX2350, LX2655, LX6650-L, LX1730, LX3024, LX1710, LX6630, and others.

The Knoxville record divides as follows on the LX question:

More recent entries reinforce the trend. Records from 2022 through 2025 include the LX1730 (baseball), LX1160 (baseball), LX1620 (baseball), LX3070-L (football), LX1240 (baseball), LX1340 (baseball), LX6360 (other), LX2350 (basketball), LX3070 (football), and LX1340 (baseball). Every entry in the record from 2010 onward is LX-series.

The pre-LX scoreboards in this record are not obsolete; many are still in service at the facilities that received them. Electro-Mech continues to support older models. However, the record of new purchases shows the LX series has been the standard for Knoxville organizations for well over a decade, and that shift is not reversing. The 50 pre-LX entries represent buying decisions made primarily before 2010, in a market that has since standardized on the LX platform.

One related point: the record does not tell me whether a pre-LX scoreboard at any of these venues was replaced by the LX-series order that followed at the same organization. Some of those follow-on purchases may have been additions to existing facilities, not replacements. The record is silent on that question, and I am going to leave it there rather than infer a replacement cycle that the data does not actually show.

The Complete Knoxville Sales and Shipping Record: All 113 Entries

Every entry in Electro-Mech's Knoxville sales and shipping record is reproduced below, one row per line, organized alphabetically by the organization field as spelled in the record.

Three notes before the table. First, several rows in the organization column are not organizations: Ball Camp Sports Complex, Baseball, Baseball Sports Construction, CESO Softball, Lakeshore Park, Nicholas Ball Park, Ridley Helton Field, and Softball are order-line labels, not customers. Second, LX3050 (and the pre-LX model 3050) is the LX3050 Play Clock Set, an accessory display that ships in pairs; it is not a scoreboard. Third, the sport code is the code on the order line, not a description of how the scoreboard was used.

The record runs from 1999 through September 2025. Every row is reproduced exactly as the record spells it. Readers with knowledge of the Knoxville area will recognize that some organization-field entries refer to venues, programs, or contractors rather than a school or league; where the record does not supply a customer name, none is supplied here. The record is a record of what Electro-Mech sold and shipped, and it says nothing about installation dates, current status, or purpose behind any individual purchase.

What the Knoxville Record Tells Us About This Market

The Knoxville-area record is notable precisely because nothing dominates it. No single model, no single sport, and no single buyer type accounts for more than a small fraction of the 113 order lines. South Doyle High School leads all organizations with 6 lines, yet that represents roughly 5 percent of the total. Baseball, basketball, and football orders are spread across 26 years and dozens of organizations that share little beyond geography and the need for a scoreboard that works.

That distribution is, in my experience, what a healthy regional market looks like. Knoxville is not a market where one district dominates purchasing or where one sport drives the entire record. It is a collection of independent decision-makers, each choosing a model appropriate to their venue. The private-school cluster around Knoxville is particularly visible: Berean Christian School, CAK, Knoxville Christian School, Knoxville Catholic, and the Episcopal School each appear multiple times, and most of those organizations appear under more than one spelling variant, which is worth knowing if you are trying to count unique buyers rather than order lines.

The record transitions cleanly from pre-LX to LX after roughly 2010, but the buyers on either side of that line are the same types. Schools that ordered 2655-C consoles in 2002 are the same types of schools that ordered LX3024s in 2016. The technology changed; the customers did not. That continuity is one reason Electro-Mech's 100,000-hour LED rating matters to buyers who plan to use a scoreboard for 15 or 20 years before the question of replacement arises.

For any Knoxville-area organization considering a scoreboard, the right starting point is a call to Electro-Mech's support team. Bring the sport, the field or gym dimensions, and the distance from the playing surface to the farthest seat. Those three inputs determine the digit height, which determines the model family, which is the decision that matters most. Everything else, console type, wiring or wireless, mounting hardware, follows from that.
