Electro-Mech's sales and shipping records show 2,146 records across 395 cities and towns in North Carolina, ranking the state third among all 50 states out of a nationwide total of 24,786 records. Of those, 1,969 are scoreboards and 177 are accessory display records; when paired units are counted, North Carolina accounts for 2,284 total displays. The LX2350 leads by model at 309 records, followed by the LX2655 at 255 and the LX1060 at 149 - out of 192 distinct models on record in the state.

The Short Answer

North Carolina is the third-largest state in Electro-Mech's shipping record, with 2,146 records spanning 395 cities and a 28-year window from 1998 to 2025. Basketball leads by sport at 823 records, the LX2350 leads by model at 309, and Charlotte leads by city at 155. This article works through all of that data - model by model, sport by sport, city by city - exactly as the shipping record shows it, and is clear about what the record does not say.

How Does North Carolina's Scoreboard Record Rank Nationally?

North Carolina holds the third-highest record count of any state in Electro-Mech's sales and shipping database, with 2,146 records spanning 395 cities and towns from 1998 through 2025.

Nationwide, our sales and shipping records total 24,786 across all 50 states. North Carolina's 2,146 place it third in that count. The number reflects both the state's population and the density of its school athletics infrastructure - high school programs, community recreation leagues, and collegiate facilities spread across the state all generate orders over a 28-year span. These are records of what was sold and shipped, not what is standing today. A scoreboard that shipped to an organization in Concord in 2003 appears in this count regardless of whether it is still in service. A replacement unit shipped to the same address in 2015 generates a second record.

Of North Carolina's 2,146 records, 1,969 are scoreboards and 177 are accessory display records. Accessory displays include shot clocks, play clocks, practice segment timers, locker room clocks, and player stat panels. The LX2160 Shot Clock Set and the LX3050 Play Clock Set normally ship as a pair, so North Carolina's 177 accessory display records represent more physical units than that figure alone suggests. Our data puts North Carolina's total display count at 2,284 when paired units are included.

Electro-Mech's catalog spans over 180 models across every major sport and venue type, and the 192 distinct models on record in North Carolina reflect that breadth. Model variants count as a single model for ranking purposes: the LX2350, 2350-C, and LX2350-L all group under LX2350, for example. The record does not tell us which specific building or field received a scoreboard, only the city and the organization - that is what a shipping record captures. Each city's record is publicly available at electro-mech.com/scoreboards-usa-installations/state/north-carolina/, where organizations are listed by name alongside the model and sport category for each shipment.

Which Models Appear Most Often in North Carolina's Shipping Record?

The LX2350 leads North Carolina's shipping record with 309 records - more than any other single model shipped to the state - followed by the LX2655 at 255 records and the LX1060 at 149.

The top five models in North Carolina are the LX2350 at 309, the LX2655 at 255, the LX1060 at 149, the LX1050 at 105, and the LX1030 at 83. Each count follows the same grouping rule: variants of a model roll up to the base number, so the LX2350-L and 2350-C both count within the LX2350's 309. The remaining scoreboard records spread across the rest of the 192 distinct models on record in the state.

According to our LX2350 spec sheet, the LX2350 is an indoor LED scoreboard designed for basketball and multi-sport use. It measures 9 ft wide by 3 ft tall and weighs 89 lb. Score and clock digits are 12 inches in height; the period digit is 9 inches. The LX2350 draws 1.2 amps at 120 VAC. Its single-cabinet construction uses heavy-duty extruded aluminum framing with rust-free all-aluminum panels, and the LEDs carry a 100,000-hour rating. The multi-sport capability is what makes the LX2350 so common in North Carolina gymnasiums that run basketball, volleyball, and wrestling on the same floor - the scoreboard handles each without a hardware change.

The LX2655 steps up in cabinet height. Our LX2655 spec sheet puts it at 9 ft wide by 5 ft tall and 133 lb. Score and clock digits are also 12 inches; all remaining digits are 9 inches. The LX2655 draws 2.2 amps at 120 VAC. Its single-cabinet construction matches the LX2350's all-aluminum, rust-free build. Both models are available in amber, red, or green LED color options and carry Electro-Mech's five-year warranty. The additional two feet of cabinet height on the LX2655 allows it to display more information simultaneously, which makes it the preferred choice for venues where the game situation panel carries more rows.

The LX1060, LX1050, and LX1030 appear frequently in the North Carolina record but their individual spec sheets were not available for this article. Dimensions, amperage, and digit heights for those models should be confirmed against their own documents at electro-mech.com/manuals-spec-sheets before any purchase or installation decision. The record count for each model is reliable; any specification carried from a different model's card is not.

How Does the Sport Split Break Down Across North Carolina's Record?

Basketball leads North Carolina's sport-by-sport breakdown with 823 records, followed by baseball at 763, football at 413, and all other sports combined at 147.

The basketball total of 823 is the largest single-sport category in the state's record. That result is consistent with the LX2350 and LX2655 leading all models shipped - both are indoor basketball scoreboards - and reflects the depth of gymnasium programs across North Carolina's high schools, middle schools, and recreation centers. Baseball at 763 is close behind, reflecting the state's broad base of school and community ball-field programs. A scoreboard's sport category in the record identifies the sport it was primarily ordered for; a multi-sport display like the LX2350 ordered for basketball counts as a basketball record even if the gym runs volleyball on the same floor.

Football's 413 records place it third. Each of those records corresponds to an outdoor scoreboard shipped to a field somewhere in the state. The record is silent on the stadium capacity, the school's enrollment size, or the reason for the purchase - it records the model and the sport category, nothing more. Schools in North Carolina evaluating outdoor football scoreboards will find the full LX-series football lineup at electro-mech.com/football. Electro-Mech recommends a minimum outdoor digit height of 11 inches and a viewing distance allowance of 25 feet per inch of digit height - the tighter of the two standard measures, because a scoreboard carries captions that must also be read at distance.

The "other sports" category at 147 records covers soccer, wrestling, volleyball, swimming, track, and any additional sport beyond the three primary categories. Electro-Mech's additional sports catalog is at electro-mech.com/additional-sports. Multi-sport scoreboards ordered for a primary sport other than basketball also fall within this category when appropriate. The 147 figure should be read as a floor, not a ceiling, for non-primary-sport scoreboard activity in the state.

For buyers interested specifically in outdoor baseball scoreboards, the 763 baseball records in North Carolina reflect sustained demand from school programs and community facilities across the state's full geographic range. The full range of Electro-Mech baseball scoreboards is at electro-mech.com/baseball. For basketball and indoor multi-sport, the LX2350 and LX2655 are the two models with the deepest record in North Carolina, as the model-count breakdown in the previous section shows.

Which North Carolina Cities Appear Most in the Shipping Record?

Charlotte leads all North Carolina cities with 155 records, followed by Greensboro at 70, Durham at 45, Concord at 41, Raleigh at 37, and Fayetteville at 35.

Charlotte's 155 records reflect its scale as the state's largest metropolitan area and the concentration of schools, recreational leagues, and athletic organizations that come with it. Greensboro's 70 records place it second - a result consistent with the Triad region's strong base of high school and university athletics. Durham, Concord, Raleigh, and Fayetteville each fall between 35 and 45 records, representing the state's other major population and athletic centers.

Concord's 41 records are notable for a city its size. Raleigh, the state capital and a considerably larger city, carries 37 records - fewer than Concord. The shipping record does not explain this; it records the shipment and the receiving organization, not the purchasing decisions or procurement history behind each order.

Beyond those six cities, the record extends to hundreds of additional cities and towns across North Carolina. Many appear only once or twice - a single school district, a county recreation department, or a youth sports organization that placed one order in the 28-year span. That long tail of smaller communities actually accounts for the majority of the state's 395 entries. No single metropolitan area drives the record; the demand is broad and geographically distributed, from the Outer Banks to the mountain communities in the west.

The full city-by-city listing for North Carolina is publicly available at electro-mech.com/scoreboards-usa-installations/state/north-carolina/. Each entry names the organization, the model, and the sport category for each shipment. The record does not include street addresses, field names, or school building designations - it records what was shipped to which city and organization, as that is what the shipping database captures. Whether that scoreboard went to a gym, a ball field, or a multi-purpose facility, the record is silent.

Who Are the Largest Individual Buyers in North Carolina's Record?

Among individual organizations, Pinecrest High School, West Rowan High School, South Point High School, and Gaston Christian School appear as the largest buyers in the North Carolina shipping record.

These four names are listed exactly as they appear in our records - the name as it was captured at the time of the order. The record lists each organization alongside the model and sport category shipped; it does not attach a county, district, or region to the name beyond what the record itself states. More importantly, the record is silent on the reason for each purchase, whether it replaced an earlier scoreboard, what that prior scoreboard had been, or how many separate facilities each organization operates.

An organization can generate multiple records over the years. An initial scoreboard order, a later accessory purchase such as the LX2160 Shot Clock Set, a replacement console, or a scoreboard for a second gym or playing field - each shipment is its own line in the record. An organization that appears among the largest buyers has made multiple purchases across the 1998 to 2025 span. The record is a count of shipments, not a count of scoreboards currently in operation at that organization.

What the record can establish for buyers evaluating a scoreboard purchase in North Carolina: active high school athletic programs - including those at schools in the Gaston County and Pinecrest areas - have come back to Electro-Mech for multiple orders over the years. That pattern holds across the state's larger and smaller buyers alike. The LX2160 Shot Clock Set and the LX3050 Play Clock Set are among the most common follow-on purchases after an initial indoor scoreboard order, as a program's facility grows or its officiating requirements change.

The record is silent on pricing, lead times, the specific field or gymnasium that received each display, and what the previous scoreboard had been. None of those details appear in the shipping database, and this article does not supply them. For a current quote and lead time on a North Carolina project, the right step is to contact Electro-Mech directly. The quote request form is at electro-mech.com/request-quote, and the full Electro-Mech scoreboard lineup is at electro-mech.com.

North Carolina's position as the third-ranked state in Electro-Mech's shipping record is the result of 28 years of orders from schools, recreation departments, and athletic programs spread across 395 cities. The LX2350 at 309 records and the LX2655 at 255 reflect the depth of indoor basketball programs across the state; the 413 football records reflect a separate set of outdoor programs. Neither the model counts nor the sport totals tell you anything the record does not show: what was ordered, what model was shipped, and where it went.

For buyers in North Carolina evaluating a first scoreboard or a replacement, the shipping record shows that Electro-Mech has served organizations across this state - from Charlotte to the smallest county seat - for a long time. The LX2350 and LX2655 are both in stock in proven configurations, both carry the five-year warranty, and both are built in Wrightsville, Georgia, where Electro-Mech has manufactured scoreboards since 1963.
