Electro-Mech's installation records for Pensacola, Florida show 96 boards shipped to 61 organizations in Escambia County between 1999 and 2023 - and 56 of those 96 boards carry pre-LX model numbers, making this a city where most of the record predates the current product line. The sport split runs heavily toward baseball (66 boards), with football at 20, basketball at 9, and soccer at 1. Among LX-series models, the LX2655 indoor basketball scoreboard leads at 10 boards, followed by the LX3050 football play clock at 4 and the LX3680 outdoor football scoreboard at 3 Pensacola-addressed rows.

Pensacola also holds an unusual distinction: fourteen buyers in the record appear under more than one spelling - more than any other city in our files. Washington High School is spelled three different ways; Tate High School appears as JM Tate HS and as Tate H.S. Aggies (Aggies is the team mascot, not a separate buyer); Pensacola Junior College became Pensacola State College and holds both names. The table in this article preserves every spelling as filed, without merging, because the record is the record.

A bare number in this table - 2655, 1250, 1550 - is not an LX model. The pre-LX 2655 that appears at Hillcrest Baptist Church and Warrington Middle School is a different product from the LX2655. No specification from one applies to the other. For the three featured LX models, all specifications in this article come from Electro-Mech's own spec sheets and manuals and name the exact model and variant they belong to.

What Does the Pensacola, Florida Installation Record Show?

Our installation records for Pensacola, Florida (Escambia County) cover 96 boards across 61 organization entries, shipped between 1999 and 2023.

The sport distribution within those 96 records breaks down as follows: baseball accounts for 66 boards, football for 20, basketball for 9, and soccer for 1. The dominance of baseball reflects the number of youth athletic associations, recreation departments, and school programs in the Pensacola market that have historically sourced boards for ball-field use. Football's 20 boards are spread across high schools, a recreation complex, and a naval air station fitness center. The 9 basketball boards appear mainly at schools and community centers.

The split between current and legacy hardware matters throughout this record. Forty of the 96 boards carry LX-series model numbers - LX2655, LX3050, LX3680, LX3640, and related models in the current line. The remaining 56 carry pre-LX model numbers: bare numbers such as 1550, 1250, 2655, 3260, and others. A bare number in this record is not the same board as the LX model that shares its digits. The 2655 that Hillcrest Baptist Church ordered in 2008 and the LX2655 that Bellview Middle School ordered in 2017 are separate products, and no specification from one should be transferred to the other. The five most-recorded models across the full 96 are the LX2655 (10 boards), 1550 (7), 1250 (6), 2655 (4), and LX3050 (4).

The table below reproduces every row in the record - organization name spelled exactly as the record has it, with no merging of variant spellings.

How to Read the Organization Field in This Record

Pensacola holds more multi-spelling buyer names than any other city in our records - fourteen organizations appear under more than one spelling, and the table above preserves every one of them exactly as the record has it.

Those fourteen buyers, spelled as the record has them, are:

• Pensacola High School and Pensacola HS - appear to be the same buyer
• Washington High School, Washington H.S.Wildcats, and Booker T Washington High School - appear to be the same buyer
• Tate High School, JM Tate HS, and Tate H.S. Aggies - appear to be the same buyer
• Pine Forest High School, Pine Forest H.S.Eagles, and Pine Forest HS - appear to be the same buyer
• Woodham High School and Woodham H.S.Titans - appear to be the same buyer (Woodham Middle School is a separate school)
• Northview High School, Northview H.S.Chiefs, and Northview Chiefs - appear to be the same buyer
• West Florida High School and West Florida H.S. - appear to be the same buyer
• Pensacola Junior College-Main, Pensacola Junior College, Pensacola Jr.College, and Pensacola State College - appear to be the same institution (the college was renamed; the record holds both names)
• Escambia Co.School Dist, Escambia Co.School District, and Escanbia Co.School Dist - appear to be the same buyer (the last entry misspells Escambia)
• Escambia Co.Parks & Rec Dept, Escambia Co.Parks & Rec Dept., and Escambia Co.Parks & Rec.Dept - appear to be the same buyer
• Youth Assoc of NE Pensacola, Youth Assoc.of NE Pensacola, and Youth Association of NE Pensacola - appear to be the same buyer
• Buffalo Rock and Buffalo Rock Co. - appear to be the same buyer
• Olive Baptist Church and Olive Baptist Church-ROC - appear to be the same buyer

The record is reproduced with these variant spellings intact because that is how it was filed. Merging them would misrepresent the source data.

Some names in the organization field carry team nicknames. Wildcats, Aggies, Eagles, Titans, and Chiefs are mascots attached to a school name in the order line, not separate customers. Washington H.S.Wildcats is Washington High School; Tate H.S. Aggies is Tate High School; Pine Forest H.S.Eagles is Pine Forest High School; Woodham H.S.Titans is Woodham High School; Northview H.S.Chiefs and Northview Chiefs are Northview High School. Never present a mascot name as a distinct buyer.

Several entries in the organization field are not schools at all. Electronics Shop is a retail business. Blackwater River Tools is a business. Bruce Barrios is a person's name - the record does not say more. NEP Ballpark, Tiger Point Park, Southwest Escambia Sports Complex, Fricker Community Center, and Wedgewood Community Center name facilities. NAS Pensacola PE Center Aviation Fitness is a facility on the naval air station. Buffalo Rock - which holds six boards in the record, more than any other single organization entry in Pensacola - is a beverage bottler, not a school. The record does not say why any of these organizations bought their boards.

Three records in the Pensacola file carry ZIP codes outside the standard Pensacola range (32501-32534): two carry 30503, which is a Georgia ZIP, and one carries 32541, which belongs to another Florida town. A city in our records is a shipping address; the record does not say where each board ultimately stands, and these three records do not say why they carry out-of-area ZIPs.

Where the Pre-LX to LX Line Falls in This Record

Fifty-six of Pensacola's 96 boards carry pre-LX model numbers, making this a record where most of the history sits outside the current product line.

The pre-LX model numbers in this record look like plain numbers or abbreviated codes: 1250, 1550, 2350, 2550, 2650, 2655, 3070, 3150, 3260, 3530, and others. Some of them share digits with current LX models. The 2655 that appears in this record at Hillcrest Baptist Church, Ferry Pass Middle School, Warrington Middle School, and Pensacola Junior College-Main is a pre-LX board. It is not the LX2655. The LX2655 is a different product with its own cabinet dimensions, digit heights, and electrical draw. No specification from the pre-LX 2655 should be applied to the LX2655, and none from the LX2655 should be applied to the pre-LX 2655. The same caution applies across every pre-LX number in the table.

The oldest record in Pensacola is Olive Baptist Church's MM-108-C baseball board, shipped April 26, 1999. Every record from 1999 through the early 2010s carries a pre-LX model number. The record does not say when each board reached the end of its service life, whether any was replaced, or what any cost. Those details are not in the file.

The most common pre-LX models are the 1550 (7 boards), 1250 (6 boards), and the pre-LX 2655 (4 boards). Among LX models, the LX2655 at 10 boards leads, followed by LX3050 at 4. Both the pre-LX and LX sides of the record include baseball and football; basketball appears on both as well.

The LX2655: Pensacola's Most-Recorded Indoor Board

Ten LX2655 boards appear in the Pensacola record - more than any other LX model - spread across middle schools, high schools, and a community center.

According to our spec sheets, the LX2655 is an indoor LED scoreboard built for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling. The cabinet measures 9 feet wide by 5 feet tall and weighs 133 pounds. Construction is a single-cabinet design with heavy-duty extruded aluminum framing and all-aluminum, rust-free construction. The accent material is 3-mil vinyl.

Digit heights on the LX2655 follow a clear hierarchy. Guest and Home Team Points and the Period Clock all use 12-inch digits. All other scoring fields use 9-inch digits. Bonus indicators and Possession indicators are 3 inches. The standard LED colors available are amber, red, and green. The LX2655 also includes removable caption plates along the bottom of the cabinet, which allow the lower half of the display to be labeled for use during volleyball games or wrestling matches. A center-hung, four-sided configuration is available for gyms where overhead mounting is preferred.

Electrical draw depends on the configuration. Our spec sheets put the LX2655 base model at 1.5 amps, 120 VAC. The LX2655-ETN variant - which includes Electronic Team Names - draws 2.2 amps, 120 VAC. The Pensacola record does not say which variant each buyer ordered.

Among the buyers in Pensacola, Woodham Middle School, Ramson Middle School, and Wedgewood Community Center all received LX2655 baseball boards in May 2012. JM Tate HS followed in December 2013, Jim Bailey Middle School in April 2015. Bellview Middle School and Workman Middle School received theirs in February 2017. The most recent LX2655 entries in Pensacola - Pensacola HS (July 2020) and Escambia Co.School District (April 2020) - bring the LX2655 right up to the last few years of the record's window.

How to Read a Model Number in This Record

When reviewing the installation table, treat each model string as its own entity. A few rules prevent common misreadings:

• LX prefix = current line. LX2655, LX3050, LX3680, LX3640, LX1050, LX2160 and similar entries are current LX-series boards. Specifications come from that model's own current spec sheet.
• Bare number = pre-LX. 1250, 1550, 2655, 3260, 3530 and similar carry no LX prefix. They are not the same as any LX model sharing those digits. No specification transfers between a bare number and an LX model.
• Suffix codes describe variants or options. -PC, -Mt.Dew, -Dasani, -C, -L, -Blank, and similar suffixes in this record describe promotional, customized, or accessory variants. Each is a separate line item in the order, not a sub-model covered by a standard spec sheet.
• MM- prefix = older model series. MM-108-C, MM-128-C, MM-338-PC are older Electro-Mech models that predate both the pre-LX numerical series and the current LX series.
• MP- prefix = a separate product type. MP-150-C and MP-368 are not scoreboards in the standard sense; the record codes them differently.

The LX3050: Football Play Clock in the Pensacola Record

Four LX3050 boards appear in Pensacola - at Pensacola High School, Pine Forest High School, Tate High School, and West Florida High School - all carrying a football sport code.

The LX3050 is Electro-Mech's most popular style of football play clock. Each unit measures 3.5 feet wide by 3.5 feet tall and weighs 40 pounds. The digits are 24 inches tall, sized for sideline visibility at a full-size football field. Electrical draw is 0.4 amps, 120 VAC per unit. A play clock installation typically pairs two units - one at each end of the field - so the electrical load doubles for a paired set.

The three Pensacola LX3050 entries at Pensacola High School, Pine Forest High School, and Tate High School all carry the same ship date of October 3, 2016. West Florida High School received its LX3050 the following year, on August 8, 2017. The record does not say how many units each order included, why each buyer chose a play clock, what the boards cost, or what they replaced. Those details are not in the file.

The LX3680: Full Football Scoreboard in the Pensacola Record

Three LX3680 boards appear in the Pensacola shipping record - Pensacola High School, Pine Forest High School, and Booker T Washington High School - all on football orders spanning 2012 to 2023.

According to the LX3680 manual, this scoreboard is built for permanent outdoor installation and is designed for American football. The top cabinet measures 288.2 inches wide by 60.2 inches tall by 6 inches deep and weighs 370 pounds. The cabinet frame is extruded aluminum channel, with aluminum sheet face and back sections finished with enamel paint. Standard equipment includes the cabinet, mounting clamps, a control console with a 37-button keypad, stereo patch cables, and junction boxes.

The LX3680 displays a full set of football information:

• 4-Digit Period Clock - 24-inch digits, shows time in MM:SS up to 99:59, counts up or down
• 2-Digit Guest Score and 2-Digit Home Score - 24-inch digits, to 99
• 1-Digit Time Outs Left for Guest and Home - 18-inch digits, to 5
• 1-Bullet Possession indicator - football-shaped, one for Guest, one for Home
• 1-Digit Down Count - 24-inch digits, to 4
• 2-Digit Yards To Go - 24-inch digits, to 99
• 2-Digit Ball On - 24-inch digits, to 50
• 1-Digit Quarter

Nationally, our installation records show 251 LX3680 boards on file, bought by 243 organizations in 25 states, with the first shipment in 2011 and the most recent in 2024. Florida accounts for 25 of those rows. The Pensacola-addressed rows total 3. The Pensacola High School LX3680 shipped September 11, 2012; Pine Forest High School's shipped July 23, 2012. The most recent Pensacola LX3680 entry is Booker T Washington High School, shipped February 13, 2023. The record does not say what any of these boards replaced, why each organization chose this model, or what it cost.

What the Three Featured Models Have in Common - and Where They Differ

The LX2655, LX3050, and LX3680 serve different purposes, and putting their specifications side by side shows how clearly Electro-Mech draws those lines.

Each of the three models runs on 120 VAC. Beyond that shared electrical baseline, the designs diverge substantially. The LX2655 is an indoor multi-sport scoreboard hung on a wall or overhead in a gym. The LX3050 is an outdoor play clock unit, sold as a pair for a football field, compact and portable in form. The LX3680 is a large outdoor football scoreboard built for permanent installation on steel posts, nearly 24 feet wide and more than five feet tall. Using the spec from one of these three for anything beyond what the evidence covers would misstate what the product actually is.

The comparison table below reflects each model's own specification data:

A note on the LX3680 amperage: the manual in the evidence does not carry an amperage figure for the LX3680. The electrical specification for any model should be confirmed from that model's own current spec sheet before installation planning begins. Never apply the LX2655's or LX3050's amperage to the LX3680.

How Electro-Mech Can Help Pensacola-Area Facilities

Electro-Mech has been making scoreboards since 1963 and LED scoreboards for roughly 28 years, and I spend most of my time helping schools, recreation departments, and sports organizations in the Southeast choose the right board for their venue and budget.

The Pensacola record represents real decisions made by real organizations in Escambia County - middle schools that chose the LX2655 for their gyms, high school football programs that added the LX3050 play clock to their fields, and schools that invested in the full LX3680 football scoreboard. The record does not say what any board cost or whether any organization has since replaced a board. For current pricing, availability, lead times, and any configuration questions - including whether an existing board qualifies for a console or accessory upgrade - the right step is to contact the Electro-Mech team directly and request a quote.

Electro-Mech ships about 1,500 boards per year across over 180 models, with a five-year limited warranty and a typical lead time of four to six weeks, sometimes longer for complex projects. No models are kept in stock; each board is built to order, and a custom configuration carries no automatic time penalty.

If your facility is in Pensacola or the surrounding Escambia County area and you want to see which models your neighbors and peer institutions have on record, the full table above gives you that information exactly as it was filed. For anything the record does not say - why a board was chosen, what it cost, what it replaced - the Electro-Mech sales team can walk you through current options that fit your sport, your venue, and your budget.

The Pensacola record is, in the end, a shipping log - and a shipping log has limits. It says a board left our factory, what model it was, and when it left. It says who ordered it and what sport code the sales team assigned to the line. Nothing more. The record is silent on why each organization chose a particular board, what the board cost, whether it is still in service, or what it replaced. For 56 of the 96 entries, it records only a bare number where a model name once lived, and those pre-LX models carry none of the specifications of the LX series that followed.

What the record does establish - reliably and in exact detail - is what Pensacola-area schools, recreation departments, athletic programs, community centers, a beverage bottler, and a naval air station fitness center actually ordered from Electro-Mech over 24 years. For anyone researching peer purchases in Escambia County, the table above is as complete and accurate a picture as our records allow. For specifications on the LX2655, LX3050, or LX3680, or to get current pricing and lead time on any Electro-Mech model, contact the team and request a quote.
