Electro-Mech's own sales and shipping records place Pennsylvania eighth among the 50 states, with 755 records spanning 344 cities and towns from 1999 to 2025 - 680 scoreboards and 75 accessory displays, which ship in pairs and bring the total display count to 813. The LX1060 leads all models with 81 records in the state, the LX2655 follows at 69, and baseball accounts for 344 of the 755 records - nearly half the total. What sets Pennsylvania apart from other states with comparable volume is the age of its orders: the record splits almost evenly between models that predate the LX-series platform and models in the current LX generation, a consequence of a buying history that stretches more than a decade before the LX transition of 2011 to 2012. From Philadelphia's 41 records to the camps, recreation departments, and sports complexes spread across more than 300 other Pennsylvania towns, the record shows a state with broad geographic spread and a buyer base that extends well beyond traditional school athletic departments.

How Does Pennsylvania Rank in Electro-Mech's National Shipping Record?

Pennsylvania ranks eighth among the 50 states in Electro-Mech's national sales and shipping record, with 755 records across 344 cities and towns logged since 1999.

Those 755 records break into two categories. 680 are scoreboards. The remaining 75 are accessory displays - shot clocks, play clocks, practice segment timers, locker room clocks, and player stat panels. Because accessory displays ship in pairs, the full display count for Pennsylvania reaches 813. For comparison, Electro-Mech's nationwide total across all 50 states stands at 24,786 records. Pennsylvania's 755 puts it eighth on that list - ahead of states with larger populations and, in some cases, longer football traditions, as of August 2026.

The records span 1999 to 2025. That 26-year window means the Pennsylvania count is old enough to include a substantial body of work from the pre-LX era - models that shipped before Electro-Mech transitioned its product line to what it now calls the LX-series. The defining feature of this particular state record is that it splits almost evenly between pre-LX and LX models. That balance is uncommon. States that accumulated most of their volume after the LX transition naturally run LX-heavy. Pennsylvania is large enough and has been buying long enough that neither generation dominates the other.

In terms of what the record does and does not say: these are the company's own sales and shipping records. A scoreboard that appears here was sold and shipped to a buyer in Pennsylvania. The record does not say whether it was installed immediately or stored for a period, whether it replaced an earlier scoreboard, what it cost, or what field or gym it serves. Where the record is silent, I will say so directly rather than infer.

Electro-Mech has manufactured scoreboards in Wrightsville, Georgia since 1963 and has built LED scoreboards for roughly 28 years. The company ships about 1,200 scoreboards per year nationally. Its catalog covers over 180 models across all sports - baseball, basketball, football, soccer, hockey, wrestling, and more. Pennsylvania's 755-record history reflects a long working relationship between the state's athletic directors, schools, recreation departments, and camps on one side, and a single manufacturer's product line on the other.

The breadth of that record - 344 cities and towns, 126 distinct models, four sports categories - is worth spending time on, because aggregate counts can obscure meaningful variation. The sections below break the Pennsylvania record into its component parts: which models led, which sports drove demand, how the geography spread across the state, who the buyers were, and what the pre-LX/LX split looks like when you know what each era represents.

Which Models Appear Most Often in Pennsylvania's Record?

Five models account for a disproportionate share of Pennsylvania's 755 records, and the LX1060 leads by a meaningful margin over the next closest model.

The table below shows the top five models by record count. A note on counting: Electro-Mech counts variants of one model as that model. For example, a 2350, a 2350-C, and an LX2350 all count as the LX2350. That convention matters here because some pre-LX models carried suffixes or were later redesignated when they moved to the LX platform. The counts below follow the same rule the company's own records apply.

The LX1060 at 81 records is Pennsylvania's most-shipped Electro-Mech scoreboard by a clear margin. Three of the five top models - the LX1060, LX1030, and LX1050 - are baseball scoreboards, which aligns with the sport's overall dominance in Pennsylvania's record (detailed in the sport breakdown section below). The LX2655 at 69 records holds second position and is the leading indoor basketball scoreboard in the state count. The LX2350 at 49 is the other indoor basketball model in the top five.

Beyond the top five, the full Pennsylvania record spans 126 distinct models. That spread reflects both the depth of Electro-Mech's catalog and the diversity of buyer needs across the state - from small recreational league baseball scoreboards to multi-sport indoor displays to outdoor football scoreboards. No single model dominates so thoroughly that the others become footnotes; the LX1060's 81 records represent roughly 11 percent of the total, and the top five together represent roughly 38 percent.

The LX-series models that lead this list all carry the LX prefix in their current designation. Pre-LX models - those that shipped before Electro-Mech's platform transition around 2011 to 2012 - appear throughout the 126-model count and account for a significant share of Pennsylvania's record given how long the state has been buying. I'll cover the pre-LX/LX distinction in more detail in a later section.

One practical note for buyers consulting this record: a high model count in a given state tells you the model was well-suited to the buying patterns in that state. For Pennsylvania, that means a strong market for compact and mid-size outdoor baseball scoreboards (LX1060, LX1030, LX1050) and a parallel market for standard indoor basketball scoreboards (LX2655, LX2350). Football scoreboards appear in the record - the state has 113 football-related records - but no single football model rose into the top five by count.

How Does Pennsylvania's Record Break Down by Sport?

Baseball accounts for the largest share of Pennsylvania's record, with 344 records out of 755 - nearly 46 percent of the total.

The sport breakdown for Pennsylvania reflects a mix of strong traditional participation in baseball and basketball, with football running third and a broad category of other sports making up the remainder. Here is the full count:

Baseball at 344 records means that nearly half of every Electro-Mech display shipped into Pennsylvania went to a baseball buyer. That is a higher share than you see in states where football scoreboards lead the count - and it connects directly to the model picture above, where three of the five most-shipped models are baseball scoreboards. Pennsylvania has a well-established tradition of scholastic and recreational baseball programs, and the record reflects it.

Basketball at 218 records is the second-largest category and the primary driver behind the LX2655's 69-record count and the LX2350's 49-record count. Indoor basketball scoreboards tend to serve gyms that also host volleyball, wrestling, and other indoor sports - the scoreboard's sport designation in the record reflects what it was primarily ordered for, not the only sport it may display in practice. The record is silent on secondary uses.

Football at 113 records is a meaningful share for a state with Pennsylvania's number of high school programs. Football scoreboards are typically larger and more expensive than baseball or basketball displays, which affects the buy rate relative to participation numbers. An outdoor football scoreboard is a multi-thousand-dollar investment that schools may hold on to for decades before replacing - which helps explain why football's 113 records trail baseball's 344 despite football being one of Pennsylvania's most prominent scholastic sports.

The Other category at 80 records covers sports beyond baseball, basketball, and football. The record does not specify which sport each of those 80 displays was ordered for. Soccer scoreboards, hockey scoreboards, and multi-sport displays all exist in Electro-Mech's catalog, and all could appear in this category. The record as documented does not break the 80 further.

For a buyer thinking about what their peers in Pennsylvania have typically purchased: baseball and basketball together account for three in every four records. That ratio is worth knowing if you are researching what other organizations in the state have found appropriate for similar venues and programs.

What Does the Geography of Pennsylvania's Record Look Like?

Pennsylvania's record is unusually flat by geography, meaning no single city dominates the way a state's largest metro often does in these counts.

Philadelphia, the state's largest city, holds 41 records - not an insignificant number, but only 5 percent of the state total. That is a smaller share than you might expect given Philadelphia's population. Allentown follows at 25 records, Reading at 23, Pittsburgh at 16, Scranton at 14, and Lancaster at 12. Together, these six cities account for fewer than 20 percent of Pennsylvania's 755 records. The remaining records scatter across more than 300 additional towns and communities throughout the state.

That geographic spread reflects the nature of the buyer base. Schools, municipal recreation departments, youth leagues, and private sports complexes exist across the state - not concentrated in its largest cities. A small district in central Pennsylvania has the same need for a baseball scoreboard as a large suburban district outside Philadelphia, and the record shows both buying at similar rates relative to their presence in the count.

Lancaster deserves a specific note. With 12 records logged, Lancaster itself is not a large part of the count. However, our data shows that 83 percent of Lancaster's records carry the same postal code. That concentration reads as a single shipping address rather than a picture of city-wide buying across multiple schools or facilities. The record does not specify what organization or address those records point to, and I will not infer beyond what it says.

A visible share of the buyers in this record are not traditional schools at all. The record names organizations including Camp Seneca Lake, NJY Camps, River Front Sports, and Jake Kislan ASA Softball Complex. These appear exactly as the record spells them. Whether they are summer camps, private athletic facilities, or recreational complexes, the record does not say - and I will not infer what they are beyond what the record names. Their presence does confirm that the Pennsylvania buyer base extends beyond school athletic departments into private and camp-based organizations that run competitive or recreational programs requiring scoreboards.

For anyone researching whether organizations similar to theirs have purchased Electro-Mech scoreboards in Pennsylvania: the answer, based on this record, is almost certainly yes. The buyer profile here is broad - schools, rec departments, camps, and private sports facilities across more than 300 cities and towns. The record is publicly viewable by state at electro-mech.com.

What Separates the Pre-LX and LX Eras, and What Do the Key Models in This Record Offer?

The near-even balance between pre-LX and LX models in Pennsylvania's record is the most distinctive single fact about this state count, and understanding what that split means requires knowing what the LX transition actually changed.

Electro-Mech's current production line carries the LX prefix on every model - LX1060, LX2655, LX3250, and so on. That prefix marks a generational shift in the product's internal platform. The LX-series introduced Meanwell power supplies, updated LX driver boards, and - perhaps most visibly to the buyer - a factory-prepared opening in the scoreboard's face for an embedded wireless receiver. That opening accommodates the ScoreLink RF wireless control system. Scoreboards manufactured before this transition lack that provision; they can accept an external wireless receiver in some configurations, but the face was not designed around it. Electro-Mech began shipping LX baseball scoreboards in late 2010 and early 2011, and the full catalog completed its transition to the LX platform by 2012. Models that shipped before that transition are what this record calls pre-LX.

Pennsylvania's 755 records span 1999 to 2025. Records from 1999 through roughly 2011 are pre-LX by definition. Records from 2012 forward are LX. Because the state's buying history goes back to 1999 - more than a decade before the LX transition - it accumulated a substantial pre-LX base before the new platform arrived. That is why the split runs nearly even in Pennsylvania when many states with shorter buying histories run predominantly LX.

For buyers in the market today, all new Electro-Mech scoreboards are LX-series. The pre-LX records in Pennsylvania represent scoreboards that were purchased years or decades ago and may still be in service. The LX models represent the current generation. Both carry Electro-Mech's five-year limited warranty on new purchases. The LEDs in LX-series models are rated at 100,000 hours, which at typical use rates translates to decades of service life.

The models that top Pennsylvania's LX-series count carry specific specifications worth knowing. According to our spec sheets, the LX1030 - Pennsylvania's third most-shipped model at 56 records - is a compact outdoor baseball scoreboard measuring 8 feet wide by 4 feet tall, weighing 115 pounds, and drawing 1.1 amps on 120 VAC. The LX2655 indoor basketball scoreboard, at 69 records Pennsylvania's second most-shipped model, measures 9 feet wide. For outdoor football, the LX3250 is a purpose-built permanent-installation scoreboard with a top cabinet measuring 192.2 inches wide by 48.2 inches high by 6 inches deep and weighing 180 pounds; its digits are 18 inches tall, sized for the viewing distances of a high school stadium. The record does not specify which organizations in Pennsylvania received which specific models of football scoreboard, only that 113 football-related records exist across the state.

Four of five Electro-Mech customers today choose the wireless ScoreLink RF control system over a wired cable connection. Both options remain available. The wired option uses a shielded 2-conductor cable with a drain line, run in a direct-burial jacket, laid in a trench separate from power - to runs up to 1,000 feet. The wireless option eliminates the trench and the cable run entirely, which is a practical advantage for sites where a cable path is inconvenient.

Working with Electro-Mech If You Are in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's 755-record history with Electro-Mech spans 26 years and nearly half the state's geography, and the buyer profile is broad enough that most organizations researching a scoreboard purchase will find peers in this record who made similar purchases.

If you are in the market for a scoreboard in Pennsylvania, the first step is a direct conversation with our team. Electro-Mech does not sell from stock; every scoreboard is built to order, and typical lead times run four to six weeks from order confirmation, though specific projects can run longer depending on complexity and production scheduling. Pricing is not published here - policy does not permit dollar figures on the site - so a quote request is the right path. The quote process is also where model selection, control system choice (ScoreLink RF wireless or wired cable), and mounting details get worked out against the specific requirements of your venue.

The company's five-year limited warranty covers new purchases, and our support services team - the group I lead - handles questions after the sale. For Pennsylvania organizations with pre-LX scoreboards already in service, parts and service support remain available through our team. The display typically outlasts the control console, and the console can be replaced independently of the display if needed.
