New Mexico Scoreboards: The LX2350, LX2655 and LX2665 Across 131 Records

If you are choosing a scoreboard for a New Mexico gym or field, start with two documents: the record of what Electro-Mech sold and shipped in the state, and the spec sheet for each model on it. This guide reads both. The record lists what shipped by model, sport and city. Its five most-shipped models are the LX2350, LX2655 and LX2665 basketball scoreboards, the LX1030 for baseball and softball, and the LX3230 for football.

Three questions shape the right model for your school or rec department: which sports share the floor or field, how many courts host games, and which rules your state association has adopted, from the basketball shot clock to baseball pitch-count policy. The sections below answer each one. Every figure comes from the record or a named spec sheet. Where the record is silent, the article says so.

How many scoreboards has Electro-Mech shipped to New Mexico?

Our sales and shipping record for New Mexico holds 131 records across 42 cities and towns, from 1999 to 2025, placing the state twenty-sixth of 50 by units shipped.

Three checks make those figures easy to read correctly:

• Count one record per organization, model and city. Our record applies that rule, and the New Mexico state page on our site applies the same one.
• Read each record as a scoreboard sold and shipped. The record does not say whether it is installed, still in use, or what it replaced.
• Verify the two headline counts yourself. The state page lists every record by city and prints the same totals.

Step back from the three gym scoreboards in the title and the wider footprint comes into view. Those records span every sport we shipped to the state, not only basketball. The counts reflect our record as of September 14, 2026. A rank of #26 of 50 states places New Mexico in the middle of the national order, neither a top market nor a small one.

The common assumption is that each record names the gym or field it went to, yet an entry names only the organization, its city, the model, the sport and the ship date. To learn what hangs in a given gym now, ask that school directly. Some orders sit in storage for months or years before they go up. No install date is recorded.

For scale, the National Center for Education Statistics counted 890 public schools in New Mexico in 2022. Our record does not sort buyers by type, so the two numbers do not line up one to one. Combining 2 sources points to a footprint spread across many communities, not concentrated in one metro area.

In practice, the clearest way to use the record is model by model. Most of what follows runs through our basketball scoreboard models, and each featured model is described from its own published spec sheet.

Which scoreboard models lead the New Mexico record?

The LX2350 leads New Mexico with 22 records, ahead of the LX2655 and LX2665 at 10 each and the LX1030 and LX3230 at 7 each, among 40 distinct models.

Our sales and shipping record for the state counts every model by its LX equivalent, meaning all variants of one model are grouped under that model. A 2350, a 2350-C and an LX2350 each count toward the LX2350's 22 records. The top three places all go to basketball scoreboards. The LX1030 for baseball and the LX3230 for football share the next place, and both get their own sections below.

Our data for the three leaders shows 42 records at 33 organizations, shipped from 2000 to 2025, with all 42 listed under basketball. If your gym already has a scoreboard, check its model number against these three before you request a quote. The gap at the top is wide.

The record also keeps the spelling on each entry. For these three models it shows 2350 on 9 entries, LX2350 on 7, LX2665 on 6, 2655 on 5, 2350-C on 4 and 2655-PC on 2. Spellings vary, but the model count does not change with them. Searching only for the LX name would miss the 2350 and 2655 entries.

In practice, two habits help when you read the record for your own school or rec department:

• Search for the bare number, such as 2350 or 2655, as well as the LX name, because both spellings appear.
• Read each entry as a scoreboard sold and shipped on a date. The record does not say why it was bought, what it replaced or what it cost.

Public districts are not the only possible gym buyers in the state. The NCES dashboard counted 160 private schools in New Mexico in 2021. Whichever kind of school you run, you can find operating documents on our scoreboard manuals page.

How does the console connect to an outdoor scoreboard like the LX1030?

You choose between a hardwired cable run and ScoreLink Wireless RF. The LX1030 and LX3230 include a junction box and patch cable for hardwired installations as standard.

Both spec sheets list up to 1,000 feet of data cable for hardwired installations and the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system as optional equipment. Most customers choose wireless. For a hardwired run, the control cable is a shielded 2-conductor cable with a drain line and a burial jacket, so your contractor can lay it directly in a trench, kept separate from power.

The console stays portable either way. Name your choice in the quote request, because it changes what ships with the scoreboard.

How do the LX2350, LX2655 and LX2665 differ?

The LX2350 is a 9 ft by 3 ft basketball scoreboard, while the larger LX2655 and LX2665 add reversible captions that relabel the lower half for volleyball and wrestling.

The LX2350 spec sheet puts Guest Points, Home Points and the Period Clock on 12-inch digits, with a 9-inch Period digit and 3-inch Bonus and Possession indicators. The model page says its uncluttered layout does not look jumbled when ID panels for advertising are added. That makes it a sponsor-friendly basic gym scoreboard.

On the LX2655 and LX2665, the same three rows use 12-inch digits and every other digit is 9 inches. Both spec sheets list reversible captions for volleyball or wrestling. The LX2665 model page describes three removable metal plates: WON/GAMES/WON for volleyball, flipped over to POINTS/MATCH/POINTS for wrestling. Our LX2655 model page calls that scoreboard "our most popular model for Basketball." Contrary to that basketball label, the LX2655-ETN cutsheet describes it as an indoor LED multi-sport scoreboard, with a junction box and patch cable included for hardwired installations.

Weight and draw rise with cabinet size. Pick the LX2350 when wall space is tight and basketball is the main game. Choose between the LX2655 and LX2665 when volleyball or wrestling also uses the court, and compare the face drawings on their spec sheets before you decide.

The LX2350 cutsheet and the LX2655 and LX2665 spec sheets all list a full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display. The LX2350 cutsheet and the LX2655 sheet add fifty programmable brightness levels. All three documents list an internal horn, a choice of 18 standard paint colors, and options for ID panels, Double Bonus Indicators and a center-hung four-sided configuration. The LX2655 and LX2665 sheets also list the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system as an option.

All three are indoor scoreboards. For an outdoor field, start with our high school football scoreboards instead.

Before you request a quote, I would paste these lines into the email and fill in each one.

Sports on the gym floor: basketball / volleyball / wrestling
Game courts in the building: __
Team fouls counted: per quarter, reset each quarter
Shot clock adopted by our state association: yes / no / unknown
Pitch count display wanted: yes / no
  (pitch limits are set by each state association since the 2016 revision of baseball Rule 6-2-6)

Leave a line blank rather than guess. An unknown answer still helps the quote.

Why does baseball run close to basketball while football trails?

Baseball runs close behind basketball, 47 records to 52, while football trails at 24, a split the record shows but does not explain.

Our sales and shipping record completes the sport split with soccer at 6 records and hockey at 2. The record does not say why a school ordered for one sport rather than another. The football gap is worth noticing without forcing a reason onto it.

A low football count is not a measure of how much football is played. On3's NMPreps scores page for Week 3, covering September 3 to 5, 2026, listed nine shutouts and six games decided by seven points or fewer. The same page still showed two Friday games at 0-0 without a "Final" tag. A public results page depends on someone reporting the score. The scoreboard's first job sits closer to the field: keeping accurate time and score for players and officials.

The two outdoor models in the state's top five cover the field side of the record. The LX1030 and LX3230 spec sheets set them side by side:

The LX1030 model page says its 8 ft x 4 ft layout sits between the LX1050 and LX1060 in size and has turned out to be "just right" for little leagues and high schools. Its Ball, Strike and Out indicators are bullet-style, 4 inches in diameter. The spec sheet lists no pitch count display. The 37-key console and the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system appear as options.

The LX3230 model page calls it a compact, single-cabinet football scoreboard. Down, To Go and Quarter sit on the 15-inch digits. It uses the same control console offered with larger football scoreboards, and Electronic Team Names can be added. Both spec sheets include mounting hardware for two posts with no on-site fabrication, and LED display circuits conformal coated for outdoor use. Start any outdoor choice from the sport's own spec sheet.

What should a New Mexico school check before choosing a gym scoreboard?

Before choosing a gym scoreboard, confirm it fits current high school foul rules, ask whether a shot clock applies to your teams, and count every court that hosts games.

I would work through four checks before any order goes in:

1. Confirm how the scoreboard and its console show team fouls and the bonus under the per-quarter count described below.
2. Ask the New Mexico Activities Association whether a shot clock applies to your level, and plan a pair of shot clocks with the scoreboard if it does.
3. Count every court that hosts games, not only the main floor.
4. Decide whether basketball has the court alone or shares it with volleyball or wrestling, because that choice separates the models compared above.

Under NFHS Rule 4-8-1, in force since the 2023-24 season, two free throws are awarded for all common fouls once the opponent commits five fouls in a quarter, and team fouls reset at the end of each quarter. The one-and-one is gone. Team fouls now restart every quarter. A foul count kept by halves no longer matches the game.

The shot clock is a state decision. The NFHS approved the 35-second shot clock for state adoption for the 2022-23 season, leaving each state association free to adopt one under the NFHS Basketball Rules Book. Before that approval in 2021, 10 states already allowed a shot clock on an experimental basis or outside the rules framework. No single answer covers every state, so the New Mexico answer has to come from the state association.

Second courts are easy to overlook. A coach on Reddit's r/basketballcoach described playing in a two-court gym with a scoreboard on only one court, while a person at the other court flipped numbers by hand. Players and officials on that second court get less reliable information. If both courts host games, include both in the same quote request.

What does the New Mexico record mean for your next scoreboard order?

Plan the order around your sports, courts and rules. Basketball leads the New Mexico record with baseball close behind, so one quote request can cover gym and field.

Football runs third, and the LX3230 shows what a compact, single-cabinet field scoreboard carries. The LX3230 spec sheet lists light weight, rust free, all-aluminum construction as standard equipment. The same sheet offers your team name in place of HOME as an option.

Rules still shape the order. Your state association sets pitch limits and decides whether a shot clock applies. I would settle those two answers before choosing any model. Then send them, with your sports list and court count, to the Electro-Mech team.
