Nebraska Scoreboards: The LX2350, LX2655 and LX2160 Across 115 Records

Basketball leads Electro-Mech's sales and shipping record for Nebraska by a wide margin: 75 of the 115 records, against 28 for baseball and 11 for football. The three most-shipped models are all indoor basketball models, the LX2350 at 31 records, the LX2655 at 24 and the LX2160 shot clock displays at 14.

A sales and shipping record is the list of what we sold and shipped to addresses in the state, one row per organization, model and city. It tells you what Nebraska organizations ordered. It does not tell you what is standing today.

If you run a gym or a ball field in Nebraska, the useful part is what those models are. Each one is described below from its own spec sheet: what the LX2350 and LX2655 show and how their cabinets differ, what comes in a pair of LX2160 shot clocks, and how the LX1030 and LX1060 baseball scoreboards compare. NFHS rules on team fouls and the shot clock come in where the displays touch them. One Nebraska organization from the record is named, with its ship date.

What Does Electro-Mech's Sales and Shipping Record Show for Nebraska?

Our sales and shipping record for Nebraska holds 115 records across 29 cities and towns, and basketball accounts for 75 of them, well ahead of baseball and football.

Read the record in this order:

1. Start with the sport split, because it shows where the weight of the record sits.
2. Move to the model counts, which name the specific scoreboards behind each sport.
3. Finish with the spec sheet for the model that matches your sport. The record lists what shipped, and the spec sheet says what that model is.

The record ranks Nebraska twenty-seventh of fifty states by units shipped. Its entries run from 1999 to 2024. Every count follows one rule: one row per organization, model and city. The counts cover what Electro-Mech sold and shipped, not what is standing today. Both headline figures are the ones printed on the Nebraska state page of electro-mech.com, so you can check them yourself.

Softball has a single record of its own, while the LX1030 and LX1060 spec sheets class both models as Baseball / Softball. You might expect football to head a state's scoreboard orders. In this record it sits third. Find your own sport in the table before you move on, because the model sections below cover basketball, baseball and softball only.

The same record names the most-shipped models, out of 20 distinct models recorded in the state. Models are counted by their LX equivalent, so the variants of one model (2350, 2350-C, LX2350) count as that one model.

The state summary names only these five models, so for any other model, ask our team whether it appears in the Nebraska record. The last two rows are outdoor baseball scoreboards with identical counts. The two tables agree with each other. Use the Setting column as your first filter: an Indoor row belongs on a gym wall or behind a backboard, and an Outdoor row belongs on posts at a field.

In practice, these five are the models worth reading closely if you want to see what Nebraska's orders look like. The wider range sits on the page for Electro-Mech basketball scoreboards, and the sections below take each model from its own spec sheet, one at a time.

What Does the LX2350 Show, and How Much Wall Does It Need?

The LX2350 is an indoor basketball scoreboard showing both teams' points, the period clock and the period, with Bonus and Possession indicators, in a cabinet 9 feet by 3 feet.

The LX2350 leads the Nebraska record, so it is the right model to read first. Its spec sheet files it under Indoor, Basketball / Multi-Sport. According to our data from the LX2350 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08), the aluminum cabinet measures 9 ft x 3 ft and weighs 89 lb, and mounting hardware for attaching the cabinet to a wall is standard equipment.

The same spec sheet spells out what the display carries, row by row:

• Guest Team Points and Home Team Points in 12-inch digits.
• Period Clock in 12-inch digits.
• Period in a single 9-inch digit.
• Bonus and Possession indicators, each 3 inches tall.
• Captions at 5 inches and 4 inches.
• LEDs in amber, red and green.

That is a short list on purpose. The model page describes the LX2350 as covering the basics needed to keep up with almost any sport, and then points to the built-in Bonus and Possession indicators as the sign that it is made for basketball. Those indicators matter to the people on the floor. According to NFHS, high school rules since the 2023-24 season award two free throws for all common fouls once the opponent commits five fouls in a quarter, and team fouls reset at the end of each quarter. Players and officials look to the Bonus indicator for that status.

The electrical line belongs to the variant, not the family. The LX2350 draws 1.2 Amps at 120 VAC. The LX2350-ETN, the version with Electronic Team Names, has its own spec sheet at 1.9 Amps and a single 4-inch caption height. Name the variant whenever you pass these figures along.

Standard equipment on the LX2350 spec sheet includes an internal horn, a choice of 18 standard paint colors, a data output port that supports daisy chaining additional displays, and a goal light output port for optional LED backboard goal light kits. The LX2350 cutsheet adds the control side: a full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display and fifty programmable brightness levels.

The options list is where the layout grows. It includes Electronic Team Names, Double Bonus Indicators, ID panels with custom graphics mounted above or below the scoreboard, a center hung four-sided configuration, a team name in place of HOME, and up to 1,000 feet of data cable for hardwired installations.

If your gym needs points, time and period, this layout covers it. The low cabinet leaves the wall above and below free for ID panels. Outdoor fields are a different question: the two baseball models in the Nebraska record are compared further down, and the full range is on the page for Electro-Mech baseball scoreboards.

Which Nebraska Organization Does the Record Name, and What Shipped to It?

One organization from the record is named here: Kids Can Community Center in Omaha, with its model and ship date.

Our review of the sales and shipping record for the LX2350, LX2655 and LX2160 in Nebraska lists Kids Can Community Center (Omaha, NE) with one entry. The table gives that entry, with the model spelled the way the record spells it.

The record shows what shipped and when. The entry is for basketball, and the record says nothing more about it: not whether the scoreboard was installed, not where it hangs and not why it was ordered.

Model spellings vary across the wider record. Of the 69 records at 30 organizations for these three models, the spellings the record uses include LX2350-L on 19 records, LX2655-L on 18, LX2160 on 10, 2350-L on 6, 2160 on 4 and 2350 on 3. Each spelling counts under the model's LX equivalent. If you look up your own organization on the Nebraska page, check for each of those spellings.

How Does the LX2655 Differ From the LX2350?

The LX2655 keeps the LX2350's 9-foot width in a taller cabinet, 9 ft x 5 ft and 133 lb, with a lower half you can relabel for volleyball or wrestling.

Start with what the two share. The LX2655 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08) lists the same aluminum cabinet material, the same amber, red and green LED colors, and the same Bonus and Possession indicator size as the LX2350. Guest Team Points, Home Team Points and Period Clock digits match the LX2350 in height. All other digits on the LX2655 are 9 inches tall.

The lower half is where the two part ways. The spec sheets class the LX2350 as Indoor, Basketball / Multi-Sport and the LX2655 as Indoor, Basketball, Volleyball / Wrestling, with reversible captions for volleyball or wrestling. Removable caption plates along the bottom of the LX2655 let you label the lower half of the display for volleyball games or wrestling matches. Its caption heights are listed as 5 in, 4 in and 3 in.

The larger scoreboard draws more current. Our review of the same spec sheet puts the LX2655 at 1.5 Amps. The LX2655-ETN, the version with Electronic Team Names, has its own spec sheet at 2.2 Amps, with caption heights of 4 in and 3 in.

Standard equipment follows the LX2350 list: wall mounting hardware, an internal horn, a data output port, a goal light output port, and the full-sized control console with LCD display. Optional equipment includes Double Bonus Indicators, ID panels with custom graphics, and the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system for wireless communication. Both are indoor models. For a football field, start from the high school football scoreboards page instead.

The table sets both scoreboards beside a pair of LX2160 shot clock displays, the third most-shipped model in the Nebraska record and the subject of the next section.

Our model page describes the LX2655's layout and feature set as having made it "our most popular model for Basketball," and notes that many of our indoor scoreboard designs are variations on it. Our LX2350 model page makes a different case: an uncluttered layout that does not look jumbled when you add ID panels for advertising. The LX2350 option list includes extended configurations with ID panels built into the left or right side of the cabinet, a line the LX2655 option list does not show.

What does that mean for your gym? Measure the wall first, because both cabinets share a width and the LX2655 needs the extra height. Then count the sports. The LX2655 gives volleyball and wrestling a labeled lower half, and the LX2350 keeps to the basics in a smaller cabinet.

What Should You Put in a Quote Request for One of These Models?

Give the model number, the variant, the paint choice, how the console will reach the display, and any add-ons such as a pair of LX2160 shot clocks.

The plain-text example below uses the LX2655. Every line maps to a choice on that model's spec sheet.

Model:           LX2655
Variant:         LX2655 or LX2655-ETN (Electronic Team Names)
Configuration:   wall mounted, or center hung four-sided
Lower captions:  Volleyball or Wrestling (reversible)
Communication:   data cable, or ScoreLink Wireless RF
Paint color:     one standard color, or custom paint
Options:         Double Bonus Indicators, ID panels, team name in place of HOME
Add-on:          LX2160, pair of shot clock displays

Lines 2 and 5 decide the most. The variant sets the electrical figure, because the base model and the ETN version carry different Amps on their own spec sheets. The communication line sets whether a data cable is run. The request carries no dimensions: those follow from the spec sheet once the model and variant are fixed.

What Is the LX2160, and What Comes in the Pair?

The LX2160 is a pair of shot clock displays, each 24 in x 27 in and 20 lb, designed to mount behind your backboards. It comes without a control console.

The LX2160 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08) classes the model as Indoor, Basketball, and gives its dimensions, weight and electrical draw per display. The Shot Time digits stand as tall as the Points digits on the LX2350 and LX2655. Visual Horn indicators, which mark the End of Period, are 4 inches in diameter. Every display and indicator uses red LEDs. Each display draws 0.3 Amps at 120 VAC.

Mounting is built around the backboard. Our model page describes built-in mounting points that let you attach the cabinets to a wall or to the structure supporting the backboard. Standard hardware clamps each cabinet from behind to a vertical support, and additional tapped hardware allows attachment from the sides. The faces are painted matte black for contrast.

Control runs through the main control console. Standard equipment includes a handheld three-button switch assembly that attaches to that console to operate the Shot Clock features. A full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display is optional equipment for the LX2160. So is the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system, which requires two receiver units for this model, and up to 1,000 feet of data cable per display for hardwired installations.

The rest of the standard equipment list is short:

• An internal horn.
• A data output port on each cabinet, which supports daisy chaining additional displays.
• An output port along the top of each cabinet for the backboard light bar kit, an upgrade that gives a visual indicator when the main scoreboard Horn sounds at the end of a Period.
• Junction boxes and patch cables for hardwired installations.

Read the Nebraska record with that in mind. Each LX2160 entry is a model made of two displays, not a scoreboard. When you ask our team about a pair, give the model number of the scoreboard and the control console the pair will work with. The record does not say which scoreboard a pair of shot clocks runs beside, or whether a pair is installed or still in use.

When does a shot clock come into play? Our model page dates the introduction of the Shot Clock to the 1950s, and the high school rule is newer. According to NFHS, the 35-second shot clock was approved by state adoption for the 2022-23 season, and each NFHS state association may adopt one under the guidelines in the NFHS Basketball Rules Book. Nebraska has adopted one. According to KLKN-TV, the Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) voted in March 2022 to allow a 35-second shot clock in Class A basketball on a pilot basis in 2022-23. Hurrdat Sports reported in April 2023 that the board made it permanent in Class A and approved it for Class B, and KNOP News 2 reported in December 2024 that for the 2024-25 season the shot clock exists for all classes of high school basketball. Our record does not show which rules any Nebraska buyer plays under, and rulebooks change, so confirm the current rule with the NSAA before you order.

Two points follow for your gym. Plan the pair together with the scoreboard it will run beside. Count two of everything: two cabinets, two mounting locations, and two receiver units if you choose wireless.

How Do the LX1030 and LX1060 Baseball Scoreboards Differ?

The LX1030 and LX1060 are outdoor baseball and softball scoreboards with the same 18-inch digits; the LX1060 is the larger cabinet, 10 ft x 5 ft against 8 ft x 4 ft.

Size and weight separate the two. The LX1030 spec sheet lists the cabinet at 113 lb with a 6-inch caption height. The LX1060 spec sheet lists 160 lb and a 7-inch caption height. Both are classed Outdoor, Baseball / Softball, both use an aluminum cabinet, and both offer a choice of amber or red LED displays.

What the digits carry is spelled out on the LX1030 model page: Runs and Inning, with bullet-style indicators for Ball, Strike and Out. Indicators on both models are 4 inches in diameter. That page also describes the LX1030 layout as the newer one, which has been gaining popularity among our customers. The LX1060 model page traces its design to the original electro-mechanical scoreboards we manufactured in the 1960s, and says a Baseball model of this size and layout has always been in our line.

Outdoor use changes the standard equipment. Both spec sheets list mounting hardware for permanent installation on two posts, without the need for on site fabrication, where the indoor basketball models carry wall mounting hardware. The LED display circuits are conformal coated for outdoor use. The standard console is the simplified 15-key control console, and the full-sized control console with LCD display is optional equipment on both.

The option lists match on ID panels with custom graphics, Stadium Sound System packages, a team name in place of HOME, and the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system. They part on one line. Electronic Team Names appear on the LX1060 option list only, and the LX1060-ETN has its own spec sheet at 2.4 Amps.

Our review of the Nebraska sales and shipping record finds the two level with each other: each carries the same number of records, behind the three basketball models. The record does not say which fields they went to.

Walk the field before you compare spec sheets, and measure the spot where the scoreboard would stand on its two posts against each cabinet size in the table. Digit height will not separate the LX1030 from the LX1060. Cabinet size and Electronic Team Names will. Settle those two points first, then ask our team for a quote with the model number and the LED color you want.

What Should You Take From the Nebraska Record?

Take the five model numbers as a short list, pick the one or two that match your sport, and bring those model numbers, with the variant you want, to a quote request.

Treat each count as a starting point, then ask which of the five models fits the sports your own gym or field hosts. Ask first what each model would show for your sport, and only then how often it was ordered. A count does not rank one model above another for your building. Across the five spec sheets used here, no two models share a cabinet size, so the model number is the first thing to settle.

Three steps turn the record into a request:

1. Match the spec sheet category to your sport, then check the cabinet dimensions against your wall or field.
2. Choose the base model or the ETN version where one exists, because each has its own electrical figure.
3. Ask our team for a quote that names the console and the communication method.

Before you send it, decide where the console operator will sit, because that shapes the choice between data cable and ScoreLink Wireless RF. The spec sheet shows the rest of what you would be ordering.
