New Jersey's Electro-Mech sales and shipping record shows 658 displays shipped to 271 cities and towns from 1999 to 2025, ranking the state eleventh of fifty by units. Baseball leads at 266 records, basketball follows at 219, and the spread across 91 distinct models in 658 total records reflects a state of independent buyers making individual decisions rather than bulk purchasers working from a single preferred model.

Two findings in New Jersey's record stand apart from most other states. Baseball leads basketball by a 47-record margin, which is a reversal of the national pattern in the LX-series catalog overall. And the state carries lacrosse at 20 records and hockey at 14, volumes that do not appear at comparable levels in most other states. Both findings matter to any New Jersey facility comparing models: they confirm that the local market supports a wider range of display types than a national average would suggest, and that the LX2655 for indoor basketball at 65 records is New Jersey's most common starting point, but it is far from the only model a typical New Jersey buyer ends up choosing.

What Does New Jersey's 658-Record Scoreboard History Actually Show?

Our review of the sales and shipping record puts New Jersey at 658 records across 271 cities and towns, ranking the state eleventh of fifty by units shipped, with records running from 1999 to 2025.

That summary figure does not tell you what kind of market New Jersey is. The model breakdown does. Our data shows 91 distinct models spread across those 658 records, and the leading model, the LX2655, accounts for 65 of them. That means the top model represents well under a sixth of the entire state record. For context, a market shaped by district-level standardization would show one or two models dominating. What we see in New Jersey instead is the opposite: many buyers making independent decisions, each choosing based on sport, budget, and facility size. The result is a long tail of 91 models rather than a short list of favorites, as of September 2026.

The sport breakdown confirms the same picture. New Jersey's record carries six sports, not the standard four. Baseball leads at 266 records, basketball follows at 219, football at 91, soccer at 48, lacrosse at 20, and hockey at 14. The presence of lacrosse and hockey alongside the four standard sports reflects the state's particular athletic culture.

There is one important limit to state clearly. These figures represent what Electro-Mech sold and shipped to New Jersey addresses, as recorded in our own sales and shipping record. The record does not confirm that each scoreboard was installed, that it is still in use, or why any particular organization purchased it. Where the record is silent, this article is silent too. Every number in this article is taken verbatim from the state record; none of them has been recomputed or estimated.

The five most-shipped models by LX-equivalent count are the LX2655 at 65 records, the LX1060 at 47, the LX2350 at 47, the LX1030 at 28, and the LX1160 at 20. The sections that follow describe each of those models from its own published spec sheet, with no figure carried from one model to another. A facility manager in Trenton or Toms River can read about the LX2655's actual dimensions and electrical draw without any confusion from figures that belong to a different display.

Why Does Baseball Lead New Jersey's Scoreboard Record?

Baseball accounts for 266 of New Jersey's 658 records, placing it ahead of basketball at 219, which is a reversal of the national pattern for the LX-series catalog overall.

Several factors make New Jersey a strong baseball market. The state has a dense network of school and municipal fields, and youth leagues affiliated with Little League Baseball operate throughout the state's counties. According to Little League, the organization publishes pitch count limits by league age, with rest-day requirements that vary by division. Separately, NFHS revised Rule 6-2-6 in 2016 to require every member state association to develop its own pitch-count-based restriction policy, with mandatory rest periods between appearances. In New Jersey that policy is set by the NJSIAA, which caps a high school pitcher at 110 pitches in a game and requires four calendar days of rest after 91 to 110 pitches in a day. Those rules make a scoreboard that can clearly display pitch totals and innings a practical tool rather than a luxury, particularly at the school and rec-league level where paper scorebooks are the fallback.

The model that appears most often in New Jersey's outdoor baseball records is the LX1060, which shows up at 47 records in its various LX-equivalent spellings. The LX1160 adds another 20. Together those two outdoor baseball models account for 67 records in the state. The LX1060's 18-inch digit height, as listed on its spec sheet, allows fielders, coaches, and officials to read the count and score from across a regulation diamond without ambiguity.

New Jersey's park systems and school athletic programs are spread across more than 560 municipalities, which means there is no single purchasing authority setting a statewide standard for baseball scoreboards. Each district, each recreation commission, and each youth league typically sources its own display. That purchasing structure is one reason why the record shows so many variants of the same model rather than a clean break between one model and the next. The LX1060 family appears in at least a half-dozen spellings across New Jersey records, all of which count as a single LX1060 in the 47-record figure above.

Football rounds out the top three sports at 91 records. That number is smaller than baseball and basketball partly because a football stadium typically serves one school, while a school can have multiple indoor gyms and multiple baseball diamonds, each of which may carry its own scoreboard order in the record.

What Are the LX2655 and LX2350, and Why Do They Lead New Jersey's Indoor Record?

The LX2655 is New Jersey's most-shipped Electro-Mech model at 65 records, and the LX2350 ties the LX1060 for second at 47 records.

Both are indoor basketball displays, and both ship with reversible caption plates that let a gym operator relabel the scoreboard for volleyball or wrestling without replacing the cabinet.

Our data, from the LX2655 spec sheet, puts the cabinet at 9 feet wide by 5 feet tall and the weight at 133 pounds. Guest Team Points, Home Team Points, and the Period Clock all use 12-inch digit heights. All other scoring fields, including the Player Foul indicators and the Shot Clock digits, use 9-inch digits. Bonus and Possession indicators are 3 inches. Electrical draw is 1.5 amps at 120 VAC for the base model and 2.2 amps for the LX2655-ETN variant that adds Electronic Team Names. A full-sized 37-key console with LCD display is standard equipment on the LX2655.

The LX2350 is the smaller companion at 9 feet wide by 3 feet tall and 89 pounds. Our data, from the LX2350 spec sheet, lists the electrical draw at 1.2 amps at 120 VAC for the base model and 1.9 amps for the LX2350-ETN. Points and the Period Clock carry 12-inch digits; the Period digit is 9 inches. The LX2350 is built specifically for basketball but its model page notes it covers the basics for almost any indoor sport when the layout permits.

Beginning with the 2023-24 season, NFHS Rule 4-8-1 changed how high school basketball tracks fouls: teams now receive two free throws once the opponent commits five fouls in a quarter, and team fouls reset at the end of each quarter. According to NFHS, the rule eliminated the one-and-one bonus that older scoreboards tracked on a per-half basis. A gym running a current LX2655 can display the per-quarter count through the scoreboard's standard team-foul indicators. Athletic directors evaluating an older display for a New Jersey high school program should confirm the console supports the current quarter-reset rule before the season opens.

What Do the LX1060 and LX1160 Show About New Jersey's Outdoor Baseball Demand?

The LX1060 at 47 records and the LX1160 at 20 records together account for 67 of New Jersey's 266 baseball shipments, making the pair the most common outdoor fixed-digit baseball display in the state's record.

Our data, from the LX1060 spec sheet, describes a cabinet 10 feet wide by 5 feet tall, weighing 160 pounds. The main scoring digits stand 18 inches tall, which is the standard height for an outdoor baseball display viewed from the stands at a high school or municipal field. Electrical draw is 1.1 amps at 120 VAC for the base model, rising to 2.4 amps for the LX1060-ETN with Electronic Team Names. The display carries Inning-by-Inning scoring across nine rows, a Hit indicator, an Error indicator, and a total Runs column for each team. Innings scores use 9-inch digits; the Hit and Error fields use 6-inch digits.

The LX1160 is the larger companion. Our data, from the LX1160 spec sheet, puts the cabinet at 12 feet wide by 5 feet tall and 195 pounds. The main scoring digits are also 18 inches, and the inning-by-inning layout matches the LX1060 in structure. Electrical draw is 1.2 amps at 120 VAC base and 2.8 amps for the LX1160-ETN. The additional width on the LX1160 provides more spacing between scoring fields, which is the practical difference most facilities note when choosing between the two models for a larger complex or a college venue.

New Jersey's outdoor record also shows 91 football shipments, placing football third in the state. For football fields, Electro-Mech offers the LX3050 Play Clock Set as an accessory to the scoreboard.

What Does the 91-Model Count Say About New Jersey's Scoreboard Market?

New Jersey's 658 records span 91 distinct Electro-Mech models, which means fewer than 8 records per model on average.

That ratio does not come from one large buyer working through a catalog. It reflects hundreds of independent organizations each choosing the model that fit their sport and their budget.

The sport distribution reinforces that picture. Soccer accounts for 48 records, lacrosse for 20, and hockey for 14. Those three sports alone add up to 82 records. Baseball at 266 and basketball at 219 dominate the totals, but the presence of lacrosse and hockey at meaningful volumes tells you something specific about New Jersey: the state's sports culture and population density drive demand that most other states never generate. Nationally, lacrosse and hockey records are far less common in the shipping data because most states simply do not have enough programs running those sports to create consistent demand.

The LX1030 appears in 28 New Jersey records, making it the fourth most-common model in the state. It is a baseball display in the Electro-Mech catalog, which makes it the third baseball model in the state's top five alongside the LX1060 and LX1160.

The broader lesson from 91 models is that no single purchase pattern dominates. A record with five or six models concentrated across most shipments would suggest one type of buyer, one sport, or one purchasing agent making repeat decisions. New Jersey's spread suggests the opposite: gyms buying basketball displays one at a time, municipal parks departments choosing baseball and soccer models to match their specific fields, and a handful of lacrosse and hockey programs making one-off selections from a catalog of over 180 models. The long tail is not a sign of catalog complexity. It is a record of independent decision-making across a dense and sport-diverse state.

For any facility considering a replacement or a first purchase, the range of models in New Jersey's record is practical context. Electro-Mech builds over 180 standard models across all sports, and the NJ record demonstrates that facilities with different sports, different budgets, and different venue sizes find models that fit. Lead times run four to six weeks typically and sometimes beyond twelve. Electro-Mech keeps no stocked models, so the most reliable path is a conversation with the sales team before a season deadline arrives.

What Should a New Jersey Facility Take Away from This Record?

New Jersey's 658-record history points to a state where scoreboard buying is decentralized, sport-diverse, and spread across 271 cities and towns over more than two decades. No single buyer, sport, or model dominates the way they might in a smaller, more uniform state.

For a facility evaluating options today, the record provides a practical benchmark. The LX2655 at 65 records is the indoor standard by volume, but the LX2350 at 47 records is a close second for gyms where the smaller cabinet fits. The LX1060 at 47 records leads outdoor baseball. The lacrosse and hockey numbers confirm that the catalog needs to serve a broader range of sports here than in most states.

Every model in this record ships from Wrightsville, Georgia, under a five-year limited warranty, with LEDs rated at 100,000 hours. Lead times run four to six weeks typically and sometimes beyond twelve. Electro-Mech keeps no stocked models, so contacting the team before a hard deadline is the right move for any New Jersey program planning a new display.
