Need some outside the box thinking... joining wood at right angle

Or you can do what I did which was to make it so that the CP fit inside the CP box and was simply held in by friction (no I don't mean the whole CP but rather a frame that's attached underneath).

Any particular reason you say not to do that?
I don't think hinges will work as the vinyl will be wrapped around three sides...
Well, not quite three sides but it will lip onto the bottom

The hinges will be inside the box and unseen. Doing it the other way makes it more difficult to access your buttons and wiring and that can become an issue when something stops working.
When you have a game night and people are playing the arcade and suddenly a button stops working, taking half an hour to take things apart and fix the issue is a real mood killer.
Trust me, you do not want your CP top to be permanent.

It's not having them seen that worries me, it's ruining the vinyl in movement...
You are making me think that there would definitely be value in this tho... Just can't see how I would make it work...
It, might, work if I stick the hinge at the bottom front corner and have the top and front panel lift forward. But the problem is that the front panel sits ON the bottom panel, not in front, so don't think an internal hinge will work.
I then have the issue of how to secure the back of the panel to the rear of the panel...
Thoughts?!

Piano hinge maybe with a bolt to secure from underneath?

Piano hinge would need to be on the outside in the current setup...
I'm thinking maybe slicing the bottom piece and sticking a piano hinge there (underneath) and then perhaps a couple of tension clips (not sure the proper name) inside to clip the top to the back...??
