Spartanburg, South Carolina Scoreboards: The LX2350, LX2655 and LX3150 Across 56 Entries

Spartanburg's scoreboard record is led by indoor basketball, and its colleges set it apart. Our review of the Electro-Mech sales and shipping record for the city puts basketball ahead of every other sport, and the LX2350 ahead of every other model once its variants are counted as one. Converse College, Spartanburg Methodist College and USC Spartanburg share that record with Broome High School and Spartanburg Day School.

The outdoor side is smaller but specific. The LX3150 spec sheet lists an 18-inch Period Clock digit height, with 15-inch digits for Points and To Go. The same sheet gives the LX3150 a draw of 1.7 amps, and the LX3150-ETN spec sheet gives 3.3 amps. Those figures belong to the LX3150 alone.

The record shows what shipped and when. Where each scoreboard went on campus, and whether it is still in use, the record does not say.

How many Electro-Mech scoreboards does the record show for Spartanburg?

Our data shows 56 entries at 35 organizations across eight Spartanburg ZIP codes, shipped from 1999 to 2025, with no single ZIP code holding more than 16 entries.

Read the Spartanburg list in three steps before drawing any conclusion from it:

1. Treat each entry as one scoreboard sold and shipped to a Spartanburg address.
2. Check the sport on each line before the model name, because the sport tells you whether the scoreboard was built for a gym or a field.
3. Treat anything the line does not state as unknown, including where the scoreboard was mounted and whether it still runs.

The sport split is the clearest pattern in the city. Basketball holds 28 of the 56 entries, baseball has 12, football has 10 and soccer has 6. The common assumption is that a Southern city's scoreboard history is a football story. Spartanburg's record says otherwise.

The statewide column comes from the South Carolina record, which holds 1,603 records across 227 cities and towns and ranks the state sixth of 50 by units shipped. The order is the same in both places: basketball first, baseball second, football third, soccer fourth. Spartanburg is not an outlier inside its own state.

For a school or recreation department, the practical reading is simple. If you manage a venue, note which of these four sports your own order needs to cover before you compare models. If you are comparing options for a gym, the range of LED basketball scoreboards is where the local record points first.

A scoreboard's first job is keeping accurate information, including time, in front of players and officials. Spectators come second. The counts above say which sports Spartanburg organizations bought for. The model string on your own entry is the detail to send our support team when you ask for documents.

Which scoreboard models appear most often in Spartanburg?

The LX2350 leads Spartanburg with 11 entries, the LX2655 follows with 5 and the LX3150 has 4, counting each model together with its variants.

The counting rule matters, because the record spells one model several ways. On the company's state pages, a model and its variants count as one model. In Spartanburg that means 2350-C, 2350-PA, LX2350 and LX2350-L all count as the LX2350. The pre-LX names 2350-C and 2350-PA appear here exactly as the record spells them. The record does not describe them further, and neither does this article.

Counting by family is a reading convenience, not a claim that the variants are identical. Our experience with model variations is that there is no firm line between a model with variations and a distinct model. The differences between a base model and a variant such as -ETN are electrical and structural, not cosmetic. Before you compare figures, check whether the model string on your own entry ends in a suffix such as -ETN or -L.

The state record puts the same two models at the top. Across South Carolina the LX2350 leads with 218 records and the LX2655 follows with 156, out of 102 distinct models on the state list. Spartanburg's leaders match the state's leaders. The city's third model is where it departs.

The LX3150 is a football scoreboard. Its 4 Spartanburg entries put an outdoor model in a top three otherwise held by indoor gym scoreboards. If your project is a stadium rather than a gym, the full range of high school football scoreboards is the place to compare it.

Two practical points follow. Before you specify a match for an existing Spartanburg scoreboard, confirm the exact model string with the Electro-Mech team.

What comes standard with the LX3150 football scoreboard?

A single aluminum cabinet, an internally mounted horn, a full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display and six selectable brightness levels come standard on the LX3150, with Electronic Team Names optional.

The LX3150 model page describes LED bullet-style indicators for Downs and Quarters. The LX3150 spec sheet sizes every indicator at 4 inches in diameter and gives caption heights of 7-1/2 inches and 6 inches. You choose amber or red LEDs and one of 18 standard paint colors. The display circuit scoreboards are conformal coated for outdoor use.

Control runs one of two ways. A hardwired LX3150 uses the junction box and patch cable on the standard list, with up to 1,000 feet of data cable available as an option. The ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system is the wireless option, and most customers choose ScoreLink RF. If your field already has an older Electro-Mech console, ask Electro-Mech support whether it will run a new display before you order.

What do the LX2350, LX2655 and LX3150 spec sheets state?

Each spec sheet describes a different scoreboard: the LX2350 is a 9 ft by 3 ft indoor basketball and multi-sport model, the LX2655 a 9 ft by 5 ft indoor model, the LX3150 a 10 ft by 5 ft outdoor football model.

The counts show what Spartanburg organizations chose. The published documents show what each choice is. Every figure below belongs to the model named beside it, and none is carried from one model to another.

LX2350

The LX2350 cutsheet lists a 12-inch four-digit game clock and 12-inch home and guest scores, with a 9-inch period digit and bonus and possession indicators. The same cutsheet pairs it with a full-sized 37-key control console with an LCD display. At 3 ft tall, the LX2350 is the shortest cabinet of the three. A gym wall with little vertical space is where that matters.

LX2655

The LX2655 spec sheet lists basketball with volleyball and wrestling in a 9 ft by 5 ft cabinet. It matches the LX2350 in width and stands taller. Its digit heights are listed row by row on its own spec sheet. Read them there rather than borrowing the LX2350 figures.

LX3150

The LX3150 spec sheet lists an outdoor football scoreboard in a 10 ft by 5 ft cabinet, with an -ETN variant for Electronic Team Names. It is the only outdoor model of the three. The base LX3150 and the LX3150-ETN are not the same scoreboard, so confirm which one a figure belongs to.

Every number you rely on should come from the spec sheet for the exact model string. If your project is a ballfield rather than a gym or stadium, the range of LED baseball scoreboards is where that comparison starts.

Each line on the Spartanburg city page carries the same few fields. Read them in this order:

Organization  : name exactly as the record spells it
Location      : Spartanburg, SC
Model         : model string, variant included (for example LX2350 or 2350-PA)
Sport         : the sport the line is recorded under
Shipped       : ship date

The model string carries the variant. The sport field is the record's own label, not a description of the venue.

Which Spartanburg colleges and schools appear in the record?

Colleges set Spartanburg apart: Converse College and Spartanburg Methodist College each hold 4 entries, USC Spartanburg appears too, and Broome High School holds the most entries of any single organization.

Contrary to the picture of a city list made up only of high schools, three colleges sit in Spartanburg's record beside K-12 buyers. Our data puts Converse College at 4 entries and Spartanburg Methodist College at 4 entries. USC Spartanburg appears as well. Among schools, Broome High School holds more entries than any other organization, and Spartanburg Day School holds 5.

How are organizations with several spellings counted?

The record spells some buyers more than one way. Each one below is consolidated into a single organization, and the spellings are stated so you can match them to the city page:

• Broome High School appears as Broome and as Broom High School.
• USC Spartanburg appears as USC Spartanburg and as USCS.
• South Carolina School for the Deaf and Blind appears under three spellings.

Organizations are named here only where the record pairs them with a verified official website. The rest of the 35 organizations stay unnamed.

What the record shows is what shipped to each buyer. It does not say which gym or field a scoreboard went to, why it was bought, or whether it replaced anything. Spartanburg Day School's 5 entries are 5 shipments; the record does not say how many venues they serve.

For a college athletic department, the useful point is plain. Two Spartanburg colleges each hold as many entries as the LX3150 does citywide. College buyers are a real part of this city's order history, not an exception to it.

What should a Spartanburg school check before ordering a scoreboard?

Check the current playing rules your scoreboard has to display, confirm the exact model and variant, and request a quote, because the record shows past orders, not your requirements.

With the city's models and buyers established, the record becomes a starting point for your own order. Work through four checks before you request a quote:

1. Match the basketball bonus display to current play. Since the 2023-24 season, NFHS Rule 4-8-1 awards two free throws 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. Ask how the bonus indicator on your model is operated under that per-quarter count.
2. Find out where your state stands on the shot clock. NFHS approved the 35-second shot clock by state adoption for the 2022-23 season, so each state association decides. Check the South Carolina High School League's current position. Where a shot clock is needed, a pair of LX2160 shot clocks is the usual next step alongside the main scoreboard.
3. Confirm the baseball policy with your coaches. Pitching restrictions are set by each state association under a pitch-count rule, not by the scoreboard. Settle what your coaches want displayed before you choose a baseball model.
4. Put the exact model string on the quote request. The spec sheet for that string, and no other, is where your cabinet and electrical figures come from.

Two of the four checks come from rule changes made within the last few seasons. A scoreboard ordered for a Spartanburg gym today should answer to the 2023-24 foul count, whatever an older scoreboard in the same building shows.

The build side is straightforward to plan around. Our experience is that parts and standard subassemblies are already in stock before any order arrives, and each scoreboard is then built to the order. No finished model sits on a shelf.

Price and delivery are not in the record or the spec sheets. Both come from a quote for the exact model you specify. The order of work follows from that: rules first, model second, quote third.

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

Read the next indoor order against today's basketball rules, because basketball's 28 entries make the gym the place where Spartanburg's record and the rulebook meet most often.

The record stops at what shipped. The per-quarter foul count covered above is the current high school rule. Confirm how the model you choose shows it before you order.

The spec sheets are where that check starts. The LX2655 spec sheet lists 3-inch Bonus and Possession indicators and offers Double Bonus Indicators as optional equipment. The LX3150 spec sheet carries its own figures for the field. Name the model and its variant, and the Electro-Mech team can answer the rest in a quote.
