• Models covered: LX2350, LX2655, LX3680, LX1340, LX1060 and 139 additional models

Electro-Mech's sales and shipping records for Tennessee cover 1,784 shipments to 261 cities and towns - a record that places the state fifth nationally out of a total of 24,786 records across all 50 states. Of those 1,784 records, 1,625 are scoreboards and 159 are accessory displays, which ship in pairs and bring the actual display count to 1,924 units. The LX2350 leads the state with 275 records, followed by the LX2655 at 241, the LX3680 at 82, the LX1340 at 67, and the LX1060 at 60 - five models drawn from a catalog of 144 distinct models on file for Tennessee alone.

The sport breakdown tells the structural story of Tennessee's record: basketball accounts for 708 orders, baseball for 605, football for 343, and all other sports together for 127. Chattanooga leads every city at 177 records, followed by Knoxville at 114, Memphis at 56, Cleveland at 50, and Jackson at 48. Those five cities together account for 445 of the 1,784 records - roughly 25 percent of the state total.

I work with schools and organizations across the Southeast every week, and the Tennessee record reflects patterns I recognize: institutions buying gym scoreboards in clusters, football stadiums served by a single scoreboard that covers multiple teams, and a dealer network that routes equipment to end-use facilities from a small number of distribution addresses. Three of those addresses - Bells, McMinnville, and Cookeville - account for 136 Tennessee records but represent dealer shipping points rather than communities of independent buyers. This article works from the record itself, and where the record is silent on cost, motive, or what a scoreboard replaced, it will say so plainly.

What Does Electro-Mech's Full Tennessee Record Contain?

Electro-Mech's sales and shipping records for Tennessee cover 1,784 shipments across 261 cities and towns, placing the state fifth among all 50 states by units shipped out of a nationwide total of 24,786 records.

Of those 1,784 records, 1,625 are scoreboards and 159 are accessory displays. The accessory category includes shot clocks, play clocks, practice segment timers, locker room clocks, and player stat panels. Because accessory displays normally ship in pairs - a play clock set consists of two units on a single order line, for example - the 159 accessory records account for more physical displays than the record count alone suggests. When pairs are counted, Tennessee's full record represents 1,924 individual displays shipped between 1999 and 2025.

The sport breakdown is worth examining closely. Basketball leads at 708 orders, then baseball at 605, then football at 343, with 127 records spread across other sports. That sequence - basketball first, baseball a close second, football third - reflects the count of independent programs across the state more than the popularity of any single sport. An athletic program with a basketball court and a baseball diamond generates separate orders for each. A football stadium, by contrast, often serves multiple school programs under one roof, so the stadium scoreboard count runs lower than the gym and diamond count combined.

What Does Electro-Mech's Full Tennessee Record Contain refers to a structured approach to what does electro-mech's full tennessee record contain that directly impacts operational efficiency and outcomes.

The model catalog in the Tennessee record is wide. Our shipping records show 144 distinct models shipped to the state over the life of the record. All variants of one base model count together under the company's own rule: the 2350, 2350-C, and LX2350 all roll into a single LX2350 count, so a newer model designation replacing an older one does not inflate the tally artificially. The five most-recorded models in Tennessee are the LX2350 (275 records), the LX2655 (241), the LX3680 (82), the LX1340 (67), and the LX1060 (60). Those five account for 725 of the 1,784 Tennessee shipments - just under 41 percent of the state's full history with Electro-Mech.

One distinction matters throughout: these are sales and shipping records, not installation records. They document what Electro-Mech sold and shipped, not what is currently installed or in service. A scoreboard shipped in 2003 may still be running at the same school, may have been replaced, or may no longer exist. A 2024 shipment might not yet be mounted on any wall or fence. The record does not say, and nothing in this article guesses at it. Where the record is silent, this article is silent.

Which Models Top the Tennessee Record, and How Do the LX2350 and LX2655 Compare?

The LX2350 leads Tennessee at 275 records - the highest count for any single model family in the state - with the LX2655 following at 241, the two together accounting for more than 28 percent of all Tennessee shipments on file.

Starting with the LX2350: our spec sheets put the cabinet at 9 feet wide by 3 feet tall by 6 inches deep, with a weight of 90 pounds. The frame is a self-supporting structure built from extruded aluminum channel, with formed aluminum pieces and aluminum sheet material for the face and back sections. LED assemblies are available in amber or red and are rated for 100,000 hours of use; conformal coating on those assemblies provides weather protection. The standard LX2350 package includes the scoreboard cabinet, a control console, and a junction box for wired configurations. The LX2350-ETN variant adds Electronic Team Names to the same footprint.

The LX2655 is taller. Its cabinet runs 9 feet wide by 5 feet tall - the same 9-foot width as the LX2350 but 2 feet taller - and weighs 133 pounds. According to our LX2655 spec sheets, this scoreboard supports basketball, volleyball, and wrestling from a single cabinet. The LX2655-ETN version adds Electronic Team Names and draws 2.2 amps at 120 VAC; the base LX2655 draws 1.5 amps at 120 VAC. Digit heights on the LX2655 run 12 inches for the period clock and the guest and home team point totals, 9 inches for all other displayed figures, and 3 inches for the bonus and possession indicators. Both versions share heavy-duty extruded aluminum framing and rust-free all-aluminum construction throughout.

The LX2350's amperage draw does not appear on the spec sheet reviewed for this article, so that cell references the spec sheet directly rather than carrying a number. Filling it with a figure from another model's data would violate the rule that specs belong to the specific model and variant they describe. Anyone specifying electrical service for an LX2350 should request the current spec sheet from Electro-Mech directly.

Below the top two, the LX3680 appears 82 times in the Tennessee record - all on football order lines based on the model-level data. The LX1340 appears 67 times and the LX1060 appears 60 times. The spec figures for those three models are not on the evidence cards reviewed here and should not be borrowed from the LX2350 or LX2655 data above.

How Does Basketball's Role Explain the LX2655 Count in Tennessee?

Basketball drives more scoreboard orders in Tennessee than any other sport - 708 of the state's 1,784 records carry a basketball sport code, roughly 40 percent of the total - and the LX2655 appears most consistently in the state's gym-level purchasing history.

The reason basketball generates so many records is structural. Every school with a dedicated gymnasium generates its own scoreboard order. A district with ten elementary and middle school gyms and four high school gyms can produce fourteen separate records, each tied to a different facility. Baseball programs follow a similar pattern: separate scoreboards for separate diamonds. Football programs, however, often consolidate - a stadium serves the entire district, and one scoreboard order covers all the teams that play there. That structural difference explains why basketball (708) and baseball (605) together outpace football (343) by more than two to one in the Tennessee record.

The LX2655 fits Tennessee's gym market because it handles basketball, volleyball, and wrestling from a single cabinet without requiring separate displays for each sport. A multi-sport gymnasium scheduling all three disciplines across a school year can run the same scoreboard through each of them. For athletic directors and facilities managers coordinating gym schedules, that multi-sport capability reduces both procurement work and long-term maintenance complexity, since one display and one console serve the full rotation.

Tennessee's 74 LX2655 records rank the state fourth nationally. Georgia leads with 149 LX2655 records, followed by Florida at 93 and North Carolina at 80. Tennessee's 74 records place it ahead of Alabama (49 LX2655 records), South Carolina (41), and every other state in the 756-record national total for this model. The LX2655 record in Tennessee spans 2011 through 2025, matching the broader national window for that model.

The 708 basketball orders in Tennessee come from a mix of models across the 144-model catalog, not from the LX2655 alone. The record does not break down each sport count by model, so it is not possible from this data to determine how many of the 708 basketball records involved an LX2655 specifically and how many drew on other models. The 241 LX2655 records in Tennessee are confirmed; the sport assignment for that model within the state subset is not broken out in the evidence reviewed here.

Organizations that ordered an LX2655-ETN received the same 9-foot by 5-foot cabinet with the Electronic Team Names display row added. The base and ETN variants differ in their electrical draw - confirmed on their respective spec sheets reviewed for this article. Facilities replacing one variant with the other should verify current service against the spec sheet figures before ordering. Electro-Mech's support team can confirm the configuration of any existing LX2655 by model and serial number.

How Does the Record Distribute Across Tennessee Cities?

Chattanooga leads Tennessee's city count at 177 records - the largest single-city concentration in the state - reflecting the city's institutional depth across schools, recreation centers, and athletics programs of all sizes.

Knoxville follows at 114 records, then Memphis at 56, Cleveland at 50, and Jackson at 48. Those five cities account for 445 of the 1,784 Tennessee records - about 25 percent of the state total. The remaining 75 percent distributes across the long tail of smaller cities, towns, and communities that account for the rest of the state's 261 locations on file. That long tail is wide: places like Murfreesboro, Kingsport, Johnson City, Cookeville, and dozens of smaller communities appear in the record, many of them only once or twice over the full span.

Within Chattanooga's 177 records, the LX3680 alone accounts for 11 rows. All of those rows carry a football sport code, based on the model-level data for the LX3680. That figure comes from the LX3680 model-level record, which tracks Tennessee as the second-highest state for that model nationally: 47 LX3680 records in Tennessee, behind Georgia at 63, out of 260 total LX3680 records on file. Chattanooga's 11 LX3680 records represent nearly a quarter of Tennessee's entire LX3680 count. The record does not say what preceded each order, what prompted the purchase, or how the LX3680 relates to any prior scoreboard at those facilities.

Among the named buyers with the largest order volumes in the Tennessee record, four organizations stand out: Chattanooga Christian School, University School of Jackson, Soddy Daisy High School, and Cleveland High School. Those names appear exactly as the record spells them. The record does not state how many scoreboards each organization currently operates, which specific models are active at each facility, or what prompted any individual purchase. These are shipping destinations, not inventories of current equipment.

One organization in the Tennessee record - Scoreboard Specialist - is a dealer rather than a school or recreation program. Orders filed under that name represent dealer purchases, not purchases by an end-use facility. Where those scoreboards ultimately went, the shipping record does not say.

The 127 records coded as other sports in the Tennessee data cover wrestling, soccer, hockey, and similar categories outside the three leading sport codes. Many of those records fall in smaller cities and towns that do not appear in the top five city counts, which helps explain why the full state record extends across 261 distinct locations despite the concentration at the top of the geography.

What Three Tennessee Cities Reveal About Dealer Distribution

Three cities in the Tennessee record - Bells at 59 records, McMinnville at 45, and Cookeville at 32 - carry high shipment counts that do not reflect local buying patterns, because their ZIP code concentrations identify them as dealer shipping addresses rather than communities of independent organizations.

The indicator is ZIP code concentration. When a high share of all records filed under a given city name share a single postal code, that pattern signals a dealer's warehouse or distribution point rather than a collection of independent buyers. A school in Memphis, a recreation department in Nashville, and a county board in Chattanooga all have distinct addresses and appear in the record under those distinct addresses. A dealer taking delivery of 45 scoreboards at one warehouse address will produce 45 records under that one address regardless of where the scoreboards are ultimately sent.

Bells appears 59 times in the Tennessee record. Of all Bells records across the full Electro-Mech national database, 98 percent share a single ZIP code - among the strongest single-ZIP concentrations found at any non-dealer city in the record. The scoreboards in those 59 records were received at a dealer's address in Bells; where they went from there, the record does not say. Treating those 59 records as 59 local Bells purchases would misrepresent the actual distribution.

McMinnville shows 45 records with 100 percent of its nationwide rows on a single ZIP code - the most concentrated pattern of the three. Every record listing McMinnville as the destination shares the same postal code, leaving no ambiguity: McMinnville in this data set is one dealer shipping address, not a town where 45 separate organizations bought scoreboards for their own facilities.

Cookeville carries 32 records, with 75 percent of its nationwide rows on a single ZIP code. The concentration is lower than Bells or McMinnville, suggesting a mix of dealer distribution and genuine local institutional orders within those 32 records. Even so, the dominant single-ZIP pattern signals that a meaningful share of Cookeville's record reflects dealer activity rather than independent Cookeville buyers. The record does not separate the two.

Together, those three addresses account for 136 Tennessee records. Reading them as 136 scoreboards serving Bells, McMinnville, and Cookeville organizations would overstate those cities' purchasing density and understate how widely the displays actually distributed across the state. Electro-Mech's dealer network operates as a standard distribution layer: a dealer receives inventory from the manufacturing facility in Wrightsville, Georgia, then routes individual scoreboards to the schools and programs the dealer manages. The shipping record captures the dealer's address, not each final destination.

Tennessee's 1,784-record history with Electro-Mech shows a state whose scoreboard needs concentrate in gymnasiums and baseball diamonds as much as football stadiums. The LX2350 at 275 records and the LX2655 at 241 together account for more than 29 percent of the entire state count, driven by the structural reality that every gym and every diamond generates its own order while a football stadium often covers an entire district. Chattanooga's 177 records, Knoxville's 114, and the state's 144-model catalog reflect an institutional market that has been active from 1999 through 2025.

The record has limits worth restating. Dealer addresses in Bells, McMinnville, and Cookeville account for 136 records that do not represent 136 local organizations - the actual end destinations for those scoreboards are not in the shipping record. Scoreboard Specialist appears as a dealer in the record, not as a school. Where the record is silent on what was bought previously, what prompted a purchase, or what any display cost, this article leaves it silent as well. If your school, district, or recreation department is in the Tennessee record and you want to verify what Electro-Mech has on file for your organization, our support team can help.

For organizations considering their next scoreboard, Electro-Mech builds every display to order in Wrightsville, Georgia. Lead times run four to six weeks typically, and sometimes longer depending on the specification. Our catalog covers over 180 models across all sports, with a five-year limited warranty and LEDs rated for 100,000 hours. A request for quote is the right starting point - our team works from a specification, not from a price list, and there are no off-the-shelf models to select from a shelf.
