Electro-Mech's sales and shipping record for San Diego, California covers 14 displays shipped to 12 organizations between 2005 and 2024, with baseball accounting for 10 of those entries. The LX1130 and LX1160 each appear three times in the record: both are outdoor baseball and softball scoreboards with dedicated Pitch Count displays in 11-inch LED digits, and their cabinets run 96.2 inches and 120.2 inches wide respectively. San Diego's two football entries are both the LX7620, a 45-lb portable practice segment timer with an internally mounted horn, not a scoring display.

What Does Electro-Mech's San Diego Record Show?

Electro-Mech's sales and shipping record for San Diego, California covers 14 displays shipped to 12 organizations between 2005 and 2024, with baseball accounting for 10 of those entries.

That ratio separates San Diego from the statewide pattern. Our review of the California shipping record shows basketball leading at 303 of 692 entries across 289 cities and towns; San Diego runs baseball at 10 entries, basketball at 2, and football at 2. The two football entries represent the LX7620 portable practice segment timer, which is not a scoring display - the LX7620 section below covers that distinction in full. Counting only scoring displays, San Diego's record is baseball at 10 and basketball at 2, as of September 2026.

Six of the 12 organizations have verified official websites and are named in the table below. The other six have no verified website in our record; they are counted in the totals but not identified here. Two of the 14 entries appear under a private name and a company name rather than a sports organization; those entries count in the model totals but are not identified further. The record does not say what each display cost, what it replaced, or whether it remains in service today.

The 14 entries cross eight ZIP codes in San Diego. No single neighborhood accounts for more than two. Four of the six named organizations are Little Leagues - San Carlos Little League, Encanto Little League, North Park Little League, and West Hills Little League - which reflects the sport breakdown directly. Youth diamond programs are the clearest buyer category in this record.

In the model count, the LX1130 and LX1160 each account for three entries, grouping the "1160" variant at North Park Little League alongside the LX1160 entries the way the company's own city page groups them. The LX7620 accounts for two. The 1050, the 1580, and the 2350 each appear once, in entries from unnamed organizations. The LX1130, LX1160, and LX7620 sections below draw each model's specifications from its own published spec sheet - no figure carries from one model to another.

What Are the LX1130's Specifications for a Baseball Field?

The LX1130 is Electro-Mech's outdoor baseball and softball scoreboard in an 8-foot-by-6-foot cabinet, with three entries in San Diego's shipping record, including Encanto Little League in 2022.

Our data, from the LX1130 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08), puts the cabinet at 8 ft by 6 ft and 170 lb. The overall outer dimensions, including the aluminum frame, are 96.2 inches wide by 72.2 inches tall, with a 6-inch cabinet depth. The framing is heavy-duty extruded aluminum: lightweight, rust-free, and built for permanent outdoor installation without on-site fabrication. Mounting hardware includes clamp assemblies for two steel posts; post diameter is capped at 7 inches, with a center-to-center spacing of 60 inches. Mounting hardware ships with the scoreboard.

The LX1130 displays Guest Runs, Home Runs, and Inning in 18-inch LED digits. Pitch Count for both teams appears in 11-inch digits. Ball, Strike, and Out indicators are 4 inches in diameter. The dedicated Pitch Count display is what distinguishes the LX1130 from the LX1030 in the same series. The LX1030 at West Hills Little League shows Runs, Inning, Ball, Strike, and Out without a Pitch Count row; the LX1130 adds two rows of 11-inch digits to track pitch counts for both teams simultaneously.

Electrical requirements are 1.4 amps at 120 VAC, per the LX1130 spec sheet. Hardwired installations use a shielded 2-conductor burial-jacket cable, laid directly in a trench and kept separate from power lines, running to up to 1,000 feet. Most customers choose wireless through ScoreLink RF instead. The control console is portable and is stored indoors between uses.

According to NFHS, the 2016 revision to Rule 6-2-6 required each member state association to adopt a pitching restriction policy based on pitch count, giving pitchers a required rest period between appearances. A scoreboard with dedicated Pitch Count digits in 11-inch LED lets the scorekeeper track those limits on the same display that shows Runs and Inning. For programs bound by those rules, the built-in Pitch Count display is a functional requirement rather than an optional feature.

Electro-Mech recommends 25 feet of viewing distance per inch of digit height, half the 50-foot standard the sign industry applies to lighted character height. A scoreboard carries captions alongside the digits, and all of it must be readable by players, officials, and coaches. At 18-inch Runs and Inning digits, the LX1130 reads comfortably from 450 feet. At 11-inch Pitch Count digits, the recommended distance is 275 feet. In California, our review of the state shipping record shows 50 entries for the LX1130, placing it fourth among all models shipped statewide.

What Are the LX1160's Specifications, and How Does It Compare to the LX1130?

Electro-Mech's LX1160 is the 10-foot-by-7-foot baseball and softball scoreboard, and San Carlos Little League in San Diego holds two entries for it, shipped in February 2015 and April 2016.

Our data, from the LX1160 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08), puts the cabinet at 10 ft by 7 ft and 220 lb. The overall outer dimensions, including the aluminum frame, are 120.2 inches wide by 84.0 inches tall, with a 6-inch cabinet depth. The framing is heavy-duty extruded aluminum, lightweight and rust-free, with mounting hardware for two steel posts and a maximum post diameter of 7 inches. Caption height on the LX1160 is 7 inches, one inch taller than the 6-inch caption height on the LX1130.

The LX1160's digit layout matches the LX1130: Guest Runs, Home Runs, and Inning in 18-inch LED digits, Pitch Count for both teams in 11-inch digits, and Ball, Strike, and Out indicators at 4 inches in diameter. The LX1160-ETN variant adds Electronic Team Names; our data from the LX1160-ETN cutsheet puts its electrical draw at 2.7 amps at 120 VAC, compared to 1.4 amps for the base model. The LX1130 does not have an ETN variant.

San Carlos Little League holds two LX1160 entries, the most of any single organization in San Diego's record. Our review of the shipping record shows the first shipped February 11, 2015, and the second April 11, 2016. North Park Little League holds a third entry in the record, listed under the older model designation "1160" rather than "LX1160," shipped March 2, 2011. Three entries across two Little Leagues place the LX1160 family alongside the LX1130 as San Diego's most represented scoreboard in the shipping record.

At 18-inch Runs and Inning digits, the LX1160 reads comfortably from 450 feet under Electro-Mech's 25-foot-per-inch recommendation. At 11-inch Pitch Count digits, the recommended distance is 275 feet. The 120.2-inch overall width is 24 inches wider than the LX1130, which matters when fitting the cabinet between outfield fence posts or above a fence line. Weight increases from 170 lb to 220 lb, which is worth noting when sizing posts and concrete footings, though both models use the same clamp assembly mounting approach.

Electro-Mech San Diego Shipping Record: Named Organizations

Every entry below comes directly from Electro-Mech's own sales and shipping record. Six additional entries in the city record are at organizations with no verified website on file; those organizations are not named here.

Source: Electro-Mech sales and shipping record. The "1160" designation at North Park Little League is the older model number for the same scoreboard family as the LX1160. The LX7620 is a portable practice segment timer, not a scoring display.

What Is the LX7620, and Why Does San Diego's Football Record Include It?

San Diego's two football entries both point to the LX7620, a portable outdoor practice segment timer rather than a scoring display, shipped to University of San Diego and Del Norte Football.

The LX7620 is a distinct outdoor display product, not a built-in feature of the game scoreboard. A practice segment timer is both a console operating mode and a separate display. The console's segment-timer mode by itself shows nothing - a display is required. The LX7620 is one of Electro-Mech's three PST display models and one of two that are portable, designed for use on the practice field.

Our data from the LX7620 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08) puts the cabinet at 5 ft by 3-1/2 ft and 45 lb, with 11-inch LED digit height and 0.7 amps at 120 VAC. The cabinet is all-aluminum with a baked enamel finish and conformal-coated LED circuits built for outdoor use. An internally mounted horn sounds at the end of each practice segment, so the operator does not need to blow a whistle to mark the transition. An optional leg kit with wheels adds portability for repositioning across the field between segments.

To run a practice session, the operator selects a pre-loaded Schedule from the control console rather than pressing a Start button. The LX7620 counts down each segment and the horn marks the end. A break duration is set once for the entire schedule and applies uniformly between every segment. The LX7620 can also serve as a Play Clock display during actual football games, giving a single display two distinct roles across practice and game days.

Our review of the shipping record shows an LX7620 shipped to University of San Diego on October 27, 2020, and an LX7620 shipped to Del Norte Football on March 16, 2021. Both entries are for football. The record does not say whether either program also ordered a separate game scoreboard or what, if anything, the LX7620 replaced. An existing Electro-Mech football scoreboard from roughly the past 10 to 15 years can likely serve as the display for the console's segment-timer mode; the LX7620 is the dedicated option for programs that want a portable display separate from the main scoreboard.

The contrast with San Diego's baseball entries is worth noting. Baseball accounts for 10 of the city's 14 shipping record entries, all through scoreboard models with Runs, Inning, Ball, Strike, and Out digits. Football accounts for 2 entries, and both are the LX7620 PST rather than a football scoring display. The record shows what sold to what sport, and in San Diego, the baseball programs bought the scoreboards while the football programs bought a practice tool.

How Does San Diego's Record Fit the California Statewide Pattern?

California's statewide shipping record leads in basketball at 303 entries, but San Diego's 14-entry record runs the other way, with baseball accounting for 10 entries and basketball for 2.

Our review of the California state shipping record shows 692 records across 289 cities and towns, placing California ninth among all 50 states by units shipped. Records run from 1999 to 2025, covering 86 distinct models. The most-shipped models statewide are the LX2655 (79 records), LX2160 (59 records), and LX2350 (57 records). Those three are predominantly indoor basketball and multi-sport scoreboards. Baseball and softball models like the LX1130 and LX1160 are present across the state but trail the indoor leaders in total unit count.

The LX1130 places fourth in California's state shipping record at 50 records statewide. San Diego's 3 LX1130 entries sit within that broader base. A city contributing 3 entries for one baseball model across separate organizations, with the most recent at Encanto Little League in 2022, reflects steady demand from local youth baseball programs rather than a single large purchase. The remaining 2 LX1130 entries in San Diego are at organizations without a verified website on record and are not named here.

The basketball-baseball split differs so sharply between California statewide and San Diego for a practical reason. School athletic departments across California purchase gymnasium scoreboards in large numbers, and gymnasiums are a year-round environment. San Diego's record, by contrast, shows concentrated Little League and park-district activity. Four of the six named organizations in San Diego's record are Little Leagues, and all of them purchased baseball scoreboards. The two basketball entries in San Diego are at unnamed organizations.

California's 289-city record means no single city dominates the total. San Diego's 14 entries are spread across 12 organizations in 8 ZIP codes, with no single neighborhood holding more than 2 entries. That distribution reflects how scoreboard purchases happen in a large metro area: park departments buy for individual fields, Little Leagues buy for their own facilities, and school programs make separate decisions. The result is a record that belongs to the whole city rather than to any one institution or district.

Within San Diego's record, the oldest entry is from 2005 and the most recent is from 2024. That 19-year span, across 14 entries at 12 organizations, works out to roughly one new entry every 16 months on average. I would not read too much into that figure: scoreboard purchases are not predictable in timing, and the record reflects real decisions made by real programs, not a replacement cycle. What the record does show is that demand in San Diego has been consistent rather than concentrated in one period.

San Diego's 14-entry record reflects a city where baseball drives scoreboard purchases and where the two dominant models both carry Pitch Count displays as a standard feature. Four of the six named organizations are Little Leagues, and all four purchased outdoor baseball scoreboards. The LX7620 entries at University of San Diego and Del Norte Football are practice tools for football programs, not game displays, and reading the record with that distinction produces an accurate picture of what San Diego organizations actually ordered.

I would start any evaluation of the LX1130 or LX1160 with the spec sheet for the specific model, not just the nominal cabinet dimensions. The outer frame width, weight, post spacing, and electrical draw are all there before any conversation about paint color or ID panel options begins. The LX1130 and LX1160 model pages link directly to the spec sheets, and Electro-Mech's team can help with any field-specific questions.
