This spinning top is named after the 23-foot-tall, bronze statue of a goddess holding lightning bolts on top of the Alabama Power Building in downtown Birmingham, AL (Scovie Precision Turning’s home city!). The Electra spin top’s design was inspired by the statue’s power, triumph, and representation of progress.
The Electra tops come in a drawstring pouch for safe and easy storage and transport.
David –
When I purchased one of these, I already owned one or two smaller tops. I wanted to compare the behaviour of a larger one with those. I selected the number 3 model. In ‘sleep’ mode it is quite majestic. I am absolutely delighted with it. And of course its spin time is very long!

I own all the 4 variants of the Electra top. They are all similar, but, in a way, very different, at the level of size and weight. And they are all elegant, and excellent examples of very high level craftsmanship. Very solid, spin for a long time, with the Vulcan, they make for an outstanding group of high level spinning tops, which are among the best currently available worldwide. Excellent set of tops, Scovie!

Another great top. Easy to launch and long spin time.
