Wisconsin Scoreboards: The LX1060, LX2655 and LX1050 Across 107 Records

Five model pages carry most of the Wisconsin story, and each lists its own cabinet, digits and console. The LX1060 and LX1050 are outdoor Baseball / Softball scoreboards. The LX2655 between them is an indoor basketball scoreboard. Further down the list sit the LX7520, a portable practice segment timer, and the LX1030, a baseball model sized between the other two.

This article explains what each of those models is, from its own spec sheet, and how a school, district, youth league or rec department can read the record before ordering. Rules come into the picture as well. For high school basketball, the NFHS writes the bonus rules that state associations apply. Little League programs follow Little League's own pitch counts, set by league age and days of rest. High school baseball pitching policy comes from the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association. A scoreboard serves those rules; it does not set them.

What does Electro-Mech's Wisconsin sales and shipping record actually count?

Electro-Mech's Wisconsin record holds 107 records across 71 cities and towns, shipped from 1999 to 2025, which places Wisconsin 29th of 50 states by units shipped.

You can check every figure yourself. Use these steps:

1. Open the Wisconsin state page, where each record is listed by city.
2. Find your city and note the model and sport on each line.
3. Compare that model with its published spec sheet before you request a quote.

A record is one row per organization, model and city: a scoreboard or display Electro-Mech sold and shipped to an address in Wisconsin. The common assumption is that a record proves a scoreboard is standing on a field today. It does not. The record covers what was sold and shipped, and it says nothing about installation, current use, purchase price or what an order replaced.

Our data from the state page counts 35 distinct models in Wisconsin. Variants of one model, such as a base model and its lettered versions, count as that one model. The five most-shipped models are listed below exactly as the state page prints them.

Four of those five models are outdoor displays. Read the Type column before you compare record counts. The record snapshot is dated 2026-09-14, so a shipment after that date will not appear here.

The type column comes from each model's own spec sheet, and you can open those documents through the Electro-Mech scoreboard manuals and spec sheets page. Treat the counts as a map of what Wisconsin buyers ordered. They do not tell you what any one buyer should order, because a field's size and seating decide that.

Which sport leads Electro-Mech's Wisconsin record, and by how much?

Baseball leads by a wide margin. The Wisconsin record lists 56 baseball records, against 27 for basketball and 14 for football, with every other sport in single digits.

Here is the full sport breakdown exactly as the state page prints it.

Baseball shows up as the leader in two places. It tops the state as a whole. The same split holds inside the record for the three most-shipped models. Our review of the LX1060, LX2655 and LX1050 record shows 33 records at 30 organizations, shipped from 1999 to 2023, with baseball at 22 and basketball at 11. No football, hockey or soccer entry appears for those three models.

Softball is counted on its own line, apart from baseball. The LX1060, LX1050 and LX1030 spec sheets each list the scoreboard as Baseball / Softball, so one cabinet layout covers both diamonds. The record tags each order by the sport written on it, not by every sport the scoreboard can serve.

Basketball is the clear second sport. The Electro-Mech basketball scoreboards page lists the indoor models that make up that side of the record. Football's 14 records place it third, ahead of hockey's 5.

The record does not say why any of these orders were placed. It records the sport, the model, the city and the ship date. What the split tells you is narrower and still useful. A Wisconsin buyer shopping for a diamond is in the largest group of buyers on this record. A buyer shopping for a gym is in the second.

That matters when you compare models. Most of the Wisconsin orders sit on outdoor baseball cabinets, so the next question is how those cabinets differ from one another.

What does the LX1030 spec sheet say about finish, paint and support?

An LX1030 arrives as a single all-aluminum cabinet with baked-on automotive grade enamel paint, a choice of 18 standard colors, conformal-coated LED circuits and toll-free support for its life.

Our data, from the LX1030 spec sheet, lists the standard equipment line by line. The cabinet uses heavy duty extruded aluminum framing. It is light weight and rust free. The package includes mounting hardware for permanent installation on two posts without the need for on site fabrication, plus a junction box and patch cable for a hardwired run. The model page adds that the "MM" console is included in the package.

Paint is the detail most buyers skip. With 18 standard colors on the spec sheet, a youth league or school can often match its own colors without a custom order, and custom paint colors remain an option when it cannot. The same options list carries team name in place of HOME, the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system and additional warranty and support plans.

I would put the color and the team name on your quote request from the start. Both belong to the cabinet as it is built, so the quote should name them.

How do the LX1060, LX1050 and LX1030 differ for a Wisconsin baseball field?

The LX1060 is the largest of the three outdoor baseball models in the record, at 10 ft x 5 ft with 18-inch digits; the LX1050 is the smallest, and the LX1030 sits between them.

Choose among them in three steps, in this order:

1. Measure the longest distance from which the scoreboard must be read. The LX1050 model page recommends that scoreboard only where the viewing distance will be less than 250 feet, because its captions are short.
2. Confirm your posts. All three spec sheets include mounting hardware for permanent installation on two posts, with no on-site fabrication.
3. Decide on team names. The LX1060 offers Electronic Team Names as the LX1060-ETN, while the LX1050 and LX1030 spec sheets list a team name in place of HOME as an option.

Our data, from the LX1060 cutsheet, puts the outer dimensions with the aluminum frame at approximately 120.2 in wide by 84.0 in tall, with a 6 in cabinet depth. The cutsheet calls for two mounting clamps on posts up to 4.5 in in diameter, plus eye-bolts at the top of the cabinet for lifting. The LX1060 model page traces the design to the 1960s electro-mechanical scoreboards, now in a single cabinet run from an MM style console.

The LX1030 keeps the LX1060's digit height in a smaller cabinet. Its model page calls it "just right" for little leagues and high schools, with bullet-style indicators for Ball, Strike and Out and the MM console in the package.

Our review of the LX1050 model page finds it described as "as small as they come" for permanently installed outdoor scoreboards. ID panels can extend it on either side, above or below.

Digit height alone does not separate the LX1060 from the LX1030. Cabinet size and caption height do. On the LX1050, the short captions set the distance limit. For a field shared with football, the high school football scoreboards page lists the models built for that sport.

Send a short note like this with your quote request. Fill one line per venue. Keep it plain.

Venue 1 (outdoor field)
  Sport:            Baseball / Softball
  Model of interest: LX1030
  Indicators:       Ball, Strike, Out
  Pitch rules:      Little League age chart, or state association policy
  Farthest viewer:  ___ ft

Venue 2 (gym)
  Sport:            Basketball
  Bonus display:    team fouls reset each quarter (NFHS)

Little League publishes its pitch counts by league age, with days-of-rest thresholds for each division. Write down which chart your league follows.

Why is the indoor LX2655 the exception among Wisconsin's most-shipped models?

The LX2655 is the indoor exception among the most-shipped Wisconsin models: a 9 ft x 5 ft basketball scoreboard whose removable caption plates also cover volleyball and wrestling.

Every other model near the top of the Wisconsin list works outdoors. The LX2655 hangs in a gym. Electro-Mech's model page calls it "our most popular model for Basketball," and the spec sheet lists it as Indoor, Basketball, Volleyball / Wrestling, with reversible and removable caption plates for the second and third sports.

Our review of the LX1060, LX2655 and LX1050 record finds the LX2655 spelled as LX2655 on 7 entries, the most of any single spelling in that part of the record. The record shows what shipped. Before you order, decide between wall mounting and the center-hung four-sided version.

Our data, from the LX2655 spec sheet, sets the face out as follows:

Standard equipment includes wall mounting, an internal horn, a data output port for daisy-chaining, a goal light output port and a 37-key console with LCD and fifty brightness levels. LED colors are amber, red or green. Options include Electronic Team Names and Double Bonus indicators, and a center-hung four-sided version is available.

The bonus indicators deserve attention before you order. According to the NFHS, since the 2023-24 season 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 rule applies to high school basketball played under NFHS rules, where the one-and-one is gone; other levels of play follow their own rule books.

A scoreboard's first job is accurate information for players and officials. Spectators come second. For a Wisconsin gym that hosts basketball, volleyball and wrestling, one LX2655 with swappable caption plates covers all three. Confirm the bonus layout you need with the Electro-Mech team when you request a quote.

How can a Wisconsin school or rec department use this record to plan a purchase?

Find organizations like yours in the record, size the scoreboard to your farthest viewer, then decide whether a practice segment timer belongs in the same order.

1. Look up peers by city. Open the Wisconsin state page and read the entries for towns and organizations similar to yours: what model shipped, for which sport, and when.
2. Size to viewing distance. The sign industry allows 50 feet of viewing distance per inch of lighted character height. For scoreboards I would use the tighter 25 feet per inch of digit height, because captions must be read too. Electro-Mech's own minimum for an outdoor digit height is 11 inches. A larger digit always costs more, and the common mistake is buying a scoreboard too small for the venue.
3. Check your governing body. For high school baseball, the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association sets the pitching policy your coaches follow.
4. Ask about practice timing. Decide whether your football program needs a practice segment timer alongside the game scoreboard.

Our sales and shipping record for the LX1060, LX2655 and LX1050 lists these entries, each organization under the record's own spelling:

The record shows, for example, that East Troy High School in East Troy, WI received a 1060 for baseball on 2004-08-10, Mosinee Youth Baseball in Mosinee, WI an LX1060-LR on 2012-10-01, and St John's in Neillsville, WI an LX2655 for basketball on 2023-06-26. Use their entries to see which model a program like yours ordered, then size your own scoreboard from your own farthest viewer.

If your program also runs timed practices, give that need its own line in the quote request. Our data, from the LX7520 spec sheet, describes an Outdoor, Portable Practice Segment Timer: 4 ft x 3 ft, 40 lb, 11 in digits in amber or red, drawing 0.5 Amps at 120 VAC, with an internally mounted horn. An optional T-Cart leg kit with wheels lets it roll to any practice field, and the model page says it can double as a Play Clock during games. A practice segment timer is both a console mode and a display. Your existing football scoreboard likely qualifies as the display, and a dedicated unit such as the LX7520 is the normal next step.

Pitch counts are a separate question. In 2016 the NFHS revised Rule 6-2-6 so that each state association develops its own pitching restriction policy based on pitches thrown. Read the Wisconsin policy before you specify a baseball scoreboard. Then request a quote from the Electro-Mech team with your sport, viewing distance and model in hand.

Which feature sets separate Wisconsin's five most-shipped models?

Three of the five are outdoor baseball and softball scoreboards on a 15-key console, one is an indoor basketball scoreboard, and one is a portable outdoor practice segment timer.

Our data, from those five spec sheets, sorts the models by feature set, not by level of play. The baseball rows share one console. The LX2655 and LX7520 ship with the full-sized console instead. Each baseball spec sheet still lists that full-sized console as an option, so a field can move up without changing scoreboards. If your ballpark wants more on the console than runs, inning and the count, I would raise the console upgrade when you request a quote.

What should a Wisconsin buyer take from this record?

Start from your sport and your venue, not from the model list: Wisconsin's record leans on outdoor baseball scoreboards, yet the right choice depends on viewing distance and rules.

Your next step is to pick the one model row that matches your sport and venue, then open that model's spec sheet. Our data, from the state record, follows one rule: one row per organization, model and city. Bring that model name to your quote request so the Electro-Mech team starts from the same document you read.

I would read the record as a list of peers, not a ranking. Pick the model from its spec sheet. Check your governing body's rules. Then ask for a quote.
