Orlando, Florida Scoreboards: Basketball Leads 29 of 47 Entries, With the LX2350 on Top

In Orlando, Florida, the scoreboard story starts in the gym. Electro-Mech's sales and shipping record for the city leans toward basketball, and three indoor models anchor this article: the LX2350, the LX2655 and the LX2665. The LX2350 covers basketball basics. The LX2655 and LX2665 add removable caption plates, so one scoreboard can also score volleyball or wrestling. Each model is described here only from its own spec sheet and model page.

The rules on the floor matter too. High school basketball now counts the bonus by quarter, which puts more weight on a clear Bonus indicator. Below, you will find what the record counts, the organizations it names, a side-by-side spec comparison, and the order an Electro-Mech build follows from your commitment to the day it ships.

What does Electro-Mech's Orlando sales and shipping record count?

Our data for Orlando lists 47 installations at 39 organizations, shipped 1999 to 2024, and basketball holds 29 of those entries, the largest share of any sport.

Read the Orlando city page in three steps:

1. Start with the sport split: basketball 29, baseball 12, football 3 and soccer 3.
2. Read each model number exactly as the record prints it. A variant such as 2350-DP sits on its own line and is counted on its own.
3. Treat every entry as a scoreboard sold and shipped to an Orlando address. The record does not say it was installed, where it hangs or whether it is still in use.

The model numbers that recur most often are the 2350 with 5 entries, the LX2665 with 3, and the 2160, 2350-DP, 2655 and LX2330 with 2 each. The 2350 entries belong to the model line Electro-Mech sells today as the LX2350, which is why the LX2350 sits at the top of this city's record. Pre-LX names stay exactly as the record spells them.

The LX2655 model page describes that design as the company's most popular basketball model, built over the years around its layout and feature set. Orlando's record fits that description: the 2655 appears twice and the LX2665 three times. To compare a pre-LX line such as the 2655 with a current model such as the LX2655, ask the Electro-Mech team for the matching current spec sheet.

Start with the sports your own court hosts, then read the record lines for those sports. Baseball is a clear second. Football and soccer are thin, with three entries apiece.

For an athletic director or a community center manager, the practical reading is direct. Most of the model numbers that recur here were shipped for basketball, so indoor basketball scoreboards are the category to compare first. You can review the full indoor range on the LED basketball scoreboards page before narrowing to a model.

Which Orlando organizations appear on the record, and what did each receive?

Champions leads the named Orlando buyers with 4 entries shipped in 2004, followed by Bishop Moore Catholic High with 2, then single entries at a community center, a Little League and several schools.

The table below reproduces every entry for each Orlando organization that can be named, with the model, sport and ship date exactly as the record prints them.

The record spells one buyer two ways. Bishop Moore Catholic High and Bishop Moore High School are the same organization, so the table shows both of its entries under one name: an LX7520 football scoreboard shipped in 2015 and an LX3050 Play Clock Set shipped in 2024.

Champions received its four entries across two ship dates in late 2004, three of them on the same day. The record does not say which court or field each one served.

Our data also shows what the named list leaves out. None of these organizations received a 2655 or an LX2665, the models the LX2655 model page places at the center of the company's basketball line. Those entries belong to Orlando buyers outside this table.

The named buyers are not a list of large high school programs. They include a community center, a youth baseball league, a wellness center and schools of different levels. The Dr.Phillips Little League entry, a 1030-LR shipped in 2009, sits alongside the current LED baseball scoreboards as a reminder that the record spans pre-LX and LX models alike.

For a buyer, the takeaway is practical. Orlando's orders come from many kinds of organizations. Your peer group may be a church gym or a community center as often as a school.

What does a home-built scoreboard video show about the features a gym needs?

A wireless controller, a horn and clear bonus and possession lights are the features one builder chased in a home-built scoreboard, and the LX2655 and LX2665 offer each one.

In a 2022 video, YouTube creator Collin Wentzien walks through a basketball scoreboard finished in November 2019. The reason for the build comes first. The creator already owned a scoreboard, but it lacked what the video calls the professional features: "a wireless controller bar style digits and a horn."

Where to jump in

• 0:00 Why build one: the features missing from a scoreboard the creator already owned.
• 3:31 Choosing the horn and the relay that switches it.
• 6:03 Moving from hand-soldered LEDs to addressable LEDs.
• 7:25 Finishing the digits and replacing an undersized power supply.
• 8:53 How the controller keeps the game data while the scoreboard only displays it.
• 10:25 The finished scoreboard and controller.

The segment at 8:53 is the one I would send to a new scorekeeper. The controller does the work of keeping the game. The scoreboard shows what the controller sends it. On a gym scoreboard, that controller is the console, and the LX2655 and LX2665 spec sheets list a full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display and an internal horn as standard equipment.

The video is also honest about effort. The build stalled for months while the LEDs flickered, until the creator found a grounding fault. That makes it a useful lesson in what a scoreboard does, not a plan for your gym. Bonus status under high school rules now resets each quarter, and the built-in Bonus indicators on the LX2655 and LX2665 keep it in view from the bench.

What does the LX2350 display, and why does it fit a basic basketball gym?

The LX2350 is the most common model family on the Orlando record, a 9 ft by 3 ft indoor basketball scoreboard with 12-inch Points and Period Clock digits.

The LX2350 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08) classes the model as Indoor, Basketball / Multi-Sport. Guest Team Points, Home Team Points and the Period Clock use 12-inch digits, and the Period digit is 9 inches tall. Bonus and Possession indicators are 3 inches tall. Captions run 5 in and 4 in. The aluminum cabinet weighs 89 lb and draws 1.2 amps at 120 VAC. The LX2350-ETN, the Electronic Team Names version, has its own spec sheet: 4 in captions and 1.9 amps.

Standard equipment on the LX2350 covers three items buyers ask about early:

• An internal horn.
• Mounting hardware for attaching the cabinet to a wall.
• A choice of 18 standard paint colors, with red, amber and green LED displays.

The Bonus indicator carries more weight under the current high school rule. According to NFHS, since the 2023-24 season Rule 4-8-1 awards 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. The one-and-one is gone. A Bonus indicator on the scoreboard face lets players and officials see that state from the floor.

The basics of a basketball scoreboard are consistent, even at home. In 2022, YouTube builder Collin Wentzien showed a home-built basketball scoreboard that displays time, score, period, possession and bonus. The LX2350 carries those same five items as standard. Its model page adds that the uncluttered layout "doesn't look jumbled when you add ID panels for advertising." ID panels with custom graphics are an option, mounted above or below the scoreboard.

Owner documentation for Electro-Mech models is posted on the scoreboard manuals page, so you can review it alongside the spec sheet before you request a quote.

If a shot clock set is on your list, the LX2170 model page says the set stays in sync with your larger displays when run from the console that shipped with your main basketball scoreboard. In high school games, bonus status now resets every quarter. A clear indicator earns its place on the face. Sponsor panels fit without crowding the digits.

LX2665 caption plates (three removable metal plates, bottom of cabinet)
Volleyball side:  WON    / GAMES / WON
Wrestling side:   POINTS / MATCH / POINTS

You flip the plates by hand to change sports. During basketball, the Bonus indicators follow the per-quarter foul count that high school play now uses. A shot clock is a separate decision. NFHS approved the 35-second shot clock by state adoption for the 2022-23 season, so check with your state association first.

Which multi-sport gym scoreboard fits basketball, volleyball and wrestling: the LX2655 or the LX2665?

Both the LX2655 and the LX2665 relabel a basketball scoreboard for volleyball or wrestling with removable caption plates, so the choice comes down to cabinet size and layout.

The LX2655 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08) lists the model as Indoor, Basketball, Volleyball / Wrestling, with reversible captions along the bottom of the cabinet. The LX2665 spec sheet uses the same classification. Its model page names the plate labels: WON/GAMES/WON sets the scoreboard up for volleyball, and flipping the plates to POINTS/MATCH/POINTS sets it up for wrestling. The LX2665 model page describes the facility it was drawn for: one "where Basketball is the main sport, but Volleyball and Wrestling sometimes take over the court."

Courts that change sports often are common in indoor facilities. On The Facility Playbook Podcast, one operator described a building whose four full-size basketball courts convert into eight volleyball courts. Staff there sometimes have fifteen minutes to turn over four courts between activities. A caption plate you flip by hand fits that kind of schedule.

Three questions settle the choice between the two models:

1. How wide is the wall? The LX2655 cabinet is 9 ft wide, and the LX2665 cabinet is 10 ft wide.
2. Do you want Electronic Team Names? The ETN versions draw more current, as the table shows.
3. Will the scoreboard hang over center court? Both models offer a center-hung four-sided configuration.

Neither model is a compromise for basketball. The difference is cabinet size, not capability. Decide on team names before you order, because each ETN version has its own spec sheet.

How does an Orlando scoreboard order move from commitment to shipment?

Building an Electro-Mech scoreboard starts before you order: parts and standard aluminum subassemblies for probably well over one hundred standard scoreboards are already on hand.

Many of our models share common parts, so we pre-assemble some pieces. We cut, punch and form standard aluminum parts, such as chassis parts, digit masks, gussets and angle brackets, before any order arrives. The figure for ready parts is an estimate, not a counted inventory. As Chap McMichael puts it, "In this sense, building a scoreboard is a process which begins long before we receive an order."

From your commitment to the day the scoreboard ships, the work follows this order:

1. Your commitment: a purchase order, down payment or other trigger.
2. Artwork approval where signage is involved, with logos, colors, layout and text settled.
3. Release of the Sales Order. Engineering examines most orders the same day, and outside purchases for custom signage, paint or vinyl start.
4. Assignment to a Truck List by the Shipping Manager, after which the order is in process.
5. Four parallel paths: accessories, separate signage, internal electronics, and the cabinet (frame and ladders, then the face).
6. Electronics into the cabinet: digits first, then chassis, terminal blocks or I/O plate, ribbon cables, horn, and last the ScoreLink receiver.
7. Full-power testing and burn-in.
8. The back goes on, followed by labels.
9. Staging, then loading onto a trailer designated for scoreboard deliveries.

The typical lead time from commitment to loading is 4 to 6 weeks. No single step carries a fixed number of days.

Settle three things before you commit:

• Artwork. Sponsors, schools, boosters, architects and contractors may each have a say in logos, colors, layout and text, and approval comes before the Sales Order is released.
• Control method. The LX2655 spec sheet lists the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system and up to 1,000 feet of data cable for hardwired installations as options. The ScoreLink receiver goes in last during the electronics step.
• Optional equipment. The same spec sheet lists Electronic Team Names and a team name in place of HOME as options.

These steps come from 2 company documents describing how a scoreboard gets built. Your decisions set the pace more than the parts shelf does. Unapproved artwork holds the Sales Order back. A settled order enters the build with standard parts already made.

How do the LX2350, LX2655 and LX2665 compare feature by feature?

All three basketball scoreboards carry Bonus and Possession indicators and offer Double Bonus Indicators as an option; the LX2655 and LX2665 add removable lower captions so volleyball and wrestling can share the court.

Our review of the three spec sheets and model pages shows where the models part ways. The indicators are not the difference. The lower half of the cabinet is, along with what you can mount around it.

Read the table from the bottom up. If your court hosts only basketball, the LX2350 covers the basics and leaves room for sponsor panels built into its sides. If volleyball or wrestling sometimes takes over the floor, the caption plates on the LX2655 and LX2665 relabel the lower half for you. I would choose between those two by wall width, not by features.

One row matters on every model. High school bonus status now resets each quarter, and each scoreboard in the table carries a Bonus indicator as standard equipment.

What should an Orlando gym take from this record?

Start with basketball: the sport holds 29 of the 47 Orlando entries, so the record points first to an indoor scoreboard with clear Bonus and Possession indicators.

Next, count the sports that share your floor. If a shot clock set is part of the plan, the LX2170 model page notes that the controller software can also send Segment Time and Segment Count to the set for practice sessions. Paint color is a choice on both spec sheets, so settle it with your artwork. I would also confirm where your state association stands on the shot clock before you commit. A shot clock set is easier to plan with the scoreboard than after it.

Your next step is a short list: the sports on your court, who will run the console, and whether a shot clock set belongs in the same order. Your court schedule decides what fits.
