Oregon Scoreboards: Baseball and Football Lead 30 Records Ahead of Basketball's 7

Which Electro-Mech scoreboards have Oregon schools, districts and leagues ordered, and what do those models show? The research section in this article walks through these findings, and the sections around it compare each model from its own spec sheet.

Our data comes from that record as it stood on September 14, 2026. It counts what was sold and shipped, one row per organization, model and city. It does not show where each scoreboard stands today. I would read it as a picture of demand, not a ranking of schools.

The University of Oregon promotes venues such as Autzen Stadium, with a capacity of 54,000, and Matthew Knight Arena. This article stays with the fixed-digit scoreboards that Oregon schools, districts and leagues order. It covers what the record shows, what the most-shipped models display on their spec sheets, how the state's sports calendar fits around them, and what to check before you request a quote.

What does Electro-Mech's Oregon sales and shipping record show?

Electro-Mech's Oregon record holds 30 records across 20 cities and towns from 1999 to 2025, and baseball and football lead it at 11 and 9, ahead of basketball's 7.

Before reading the counts, keep three points in view:

1. Each record is one row per organization, model and city, the same rule the company's Oregon state page applies.
2. The counts cover what was sold and shipped, not what stands on a field or in a gym today.
3. Oregon ranks forty-third of fifty states by units shipped.

The research section in this article walks through these findings, including the full count by sport.

Our review of the sales and shipping record sorts each sport by its record count. Match that order against the sports your own fields and gym host. Basketball follows, with soccer and hockey well behind. The record does not say why any single scoreboard was bought, and it carries no organization names at the state level.

The sport list lines up with how Oregon organizes school competition. According to OregonLive's April 2025 report, the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) fills its playoff brackets for football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball and softball from its own computer rankings. Baseball, football, basketball and soccer all appear on that bracket list. Hockey does not.

The record is also not an inventory of the state's scoreboards. Oregon's own picture of school buildings comes from a separate program, the Oregon Department of Education's Statewide Facility Assessment. Across 3 sources, our state record, the OSAA bracket list and the ODE facility program, one point holds: a scoreboard purchase in Oregon sits inside a school sports system organized statewide.

For a buyer, the order matters less than the mix. Name the venue you are equipping first, a field or a gym. Programs comparing outdoor options can start with the high school football scoreboards Electro-Mech builds, then match each model to its own spec sheet.

Which scoreboard models appear most often in the Oregon record?

Two models share the lead in the Oregon record: the LX2655 gym scoreboard and the LX7520 practice segment timer, at 5 records each, out of 18 distinct models.

Behind them, the LX1030, LX1060 and LX2350 hold 2 records each. Our data counts each model by its LX equivalent, so variants such as 2350, 2350-C and LX2350 count as one model.

LX2655 and LX2350: what each shows indoors

Our data, from the LX2655 spec sheet, puts the cabinet at 9 ft by 5 ft and 133 lb. Guest Points, Home Points and the Period Clock use 12-inch digits, and all other digits are 9 inches tall. Removable caption plates along the bottom relabel the lower half for volleyball or wrestling. The base LX2655 draws 1.5 amps at 120 VAC, and the LX2655-ETN draws 2.2 amps. The model page calls it the most popular basketball model in the line.

The LX2350 is the shorter cabinet. Its spec sheet gives 9 ft by 3 ft and 89 lb, 12-inch digits for Points and the Period Clock, a 9-inch Period digit, and built-in Bonus and Possession indicators. The LX2350 draws 1.2 amps; the LX2350-ETN draws 1.9 amps.

The difference sits in the lower half. The LX2655 adds more 9-inch digits and the reversible captions. The LX2350 keeps to points, clock and period. Gyms that host volleyball or wrestling get more from the taller cabinet. You can compare both on the basketball scoreboards page.

LX7520: a practice display, not a game scoreboard

The LX7520 spec sheet lists an outdoor, portable practice segment timer at 4 ft by 3 ft and 40 lb, with 11-inch digits, an internally mounted horn and a 0.5-amp draw. An optional T-Cart leg kit lets it roll, and the model page says it can double as a play clock during games. A practice segment timer is both a console operating mode and a separate display. The console mode alone shows nothing. The record does not say which program ordered each LX7520.

The tie is the surprise. Decide which your own program needs first, a wall-mounted gym scoreboard or a portable practice display. For district planners, the Oregon Department of Education says each Statewide Facility Assessment report includes a five-year capital improvement plan, a document worth consulting when gym and field purchases are on the list.

Where can you see each Oregon model before you ask for a quote?

Each model's own page and spec sheet show its layout, captions and standard equipment. The Oregon state page lists every record by city, so you can check the counts yourself.

Start with the state page. Our Oregon sales and shipping record is published city by city, and the counts in this guide are the ones that page prints. The record follows one rule: one row per organization, model and city. Variants of one model count as that model, so a 2350, a 2350-C and an LX2350 sit under the LX2350.

Then open the model pages. Three points stand out:

• The LX2655 page notes that many of the company's indoor designs are variations on the same LX2655 layout. Read it first if you are comparing gym scoreboards.
• The LX1060 page traces the design to the original electro-mechanical scoreboards of the 1960s. The company has always offered a baseball model with a similar layout.
• The LX7520 page describes a practice display that can also serve as a play clock during games. A leg kit lets it roll where practice moves.

I would read the spec sheet before the model page. The spec sheet carries the numbers. The model page explains the design choices behind them.

How do the LX1030 and LX1060 baseball scoreboards in the Oregon record differ?

Both baseball models share digit size, indicator size and a 1.1-amp draw. The LX1060 is the larger cabinet, at 10 ft by 5 ft and 160 lb.

Our data, from the LX1030 spec sheet and model page, puts the LX1030 at 8 ft by 4 ft and 113 lb, with 18-inch digits for Runs and Inning and bullet-style indicators for Ball, Strike and Out. The model page calls the layout "just right" for little leagues and high schools. The "MM" console is included.

The LX1060 has deeper roots. Its model page traces the design back to the electro-mechanical scoreboards built in the 1960s, and a baseball layout of that size has always been offered since.

The choice comes down to cabinet size. Caption height is the only other visible difference. Team names on the scoreboard point to the LX1060, since only its spec sheet lists an Electronic Team Names variant. Before you compare the two in detail, read each model's documentation on the Electro-Mech scoreboard manuals page.

Pitch tracking is a separate question. According to NFHS, Rule 6-2-6 has required each member state association since 2016 to set its own pitching restriction policy based on pitches thrown in a game, with required rest between appearances. Limits therefore differ from state to state. Neither spec sheet describes a pitch-count display. Confirm the current policy with the Oregon School Activities Association, then raise it when you request a quote.

What makes a scoreboard affordable for a small high school or rec league?

Affordability for a small high school or rec league comes from matching the model's size and features to the venue, then pricing that exact model through a written quote.

A larger digit always costs more. The common mistake runs the other way: a scoreboard too small for the venue. A short quote note keeps the request exact:

Sport:         baseball
Venue:         high school field
Model:         LX1030
Control:       ScoreLink Wireless RF
Extras:        ID panel for a sponsor

One model, one venue, one control choice. That is enough to price.

How does Oregon's high school sports calendar shape when outdoor and indoor scoreboards are in use?

Outdoor scoreboards carry the fall and spring seasons, with football playoffs in November and baseball into June, while gym scoreboards carry the winter run to March championships.

The Oregon School Activities Association calendar sets that rhythm. Its football playoffs open in early November and finish with finals at the end of the month, and soccer finals fall in mid-November. Basketball championships follow in early to mid March at sites spread across the state, from Baker HS and the Pendleton Convention Center to Forest Grove HS and the University of Portland's Chiles Center. Baseball playoffs open in late May, and the state championships come in early June.

Outdoor scoreboards work across two seasons. Gym scoreboards work across one. The record does not say why baseball and football lead it, and it does not say where any scoreboard went. The calendar only shows how much of the school year is played outside.

What does football timing ask of an outdoor display?

Football adds a timing layer that baseball does not have. NFHS football rules run a 40-second play clock in many cases, keep it at 25 seconds in most cases after an official's time-out, and set it back to 40 seconds after an injury to a defensive player or a defensive equipment issue. A stadium display has to keep pace with both counts.

Practice timing runs on the same fall calendar, on the field. Our data, from the LX7520 spec sheet, lists a full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display as standard equipment, along with fifty programmable brightness levels and an optional ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system. The console's practice segment timer mode and the LX7520 display work as a pair: the mode builds the schedule, and the display shows it to the players. Brightness can be set to suit the light on the day.

The practical point is timing. A football program orders its displays well ahead of a season that ends in November.

What should an Oregon school or district check before buying a scoreboard?

Check the facility's condition report, the electrical line on your exact model's spec sheet, and the current playing rules your scoreboard has to track, then request a quote.

Start with the building, not the catalog. The state's facility condition reports reach districts at no cost, and the statewide phase, which ran from July 2024 to July 2026, covered all 5,000+ school buildings in Oregon, including charter schools and ESDs. Each report records deferred maintenance and ADA accessibility findings, and the reports meet the requirements of the Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching (OSCIM) Program.

Then check the power. Our review of the model spec sheets puts basketball scoreboards between 0.3 and 7.3 amps and baseball scoreboards between 0.4 and 13.9 amps. The figure that counts is the one on your exact model and variant. We recommend a dedicated breaker for the display.

Indoor rules come next. Since the 2023-24 season, high school basketball awards two free throws once the opponent commits five team fouls in a quarter, resets team fouls at the end of each quarter, and no longer uses the one-and-one. On the LX2350, the spec sheet offers Double Bonus Indicators as an option, along with an output port for optional LED backboard goal light kits. I would confirm in the quote how your console and indicators will show the quarter-based bonus.

Before you call, have four items in hand:

1. The facility condition report for the gym or field.
2. The electrical line from the spec sheet of the exact model and variant you want.
3. The current bonus rule for basketball and the play clock rule for football.
4. Your choice of hardwired data cable or ScoreLink Wireless RF, plus any ID panels for sponsors.

Across four sources, the state facility page, our amperage review, the LX2350 spec sheet and the 2023-24 basketball rules change, one pattern holds. The right scoreboard fits the building, the circuit and the rulebook together. Size and price follow from those three. A quote built on them avoids surprises later.

What does the Oregon record mean for your next scoreboard order?

Start from the sport you play outdoors. Baseball and football lead Oregon's record, so field scoreboards and practice displays deserve the first look, with gym scoreboards close behind.

A practice display belongs in that plan from the start. The LX7520 model page describes it as built around Electro-Mech's Practice Segment Timing software, and the spec sheet lists paint on all sides of the cabinet, in a choice of 18 standard colors. A display that moves around the field is seen from every angle.

I would price the game scoreboard and the practice display in the same quote. One conversation covers both. Start with what each display has to show, and the quote follows.
