Cocktail lid/screen lift query - Piano hinge on runners? Sliding hinge?

<< < (2/2)

Silver:
Thanks I'll check it out - based on other projects I suspect OND's workmanship is a cut above anything I can currently produce....

In the meantime, if anyone has any insight into the type/name of hinge that would allow the lift and slide motion I would be grateful ...

Having a CRT that moves frequently is probably a poor idea, so if you want to be able to do a Transformers design like this I would definitely stick to an LCD. Even candy cabs with easy-to-rotate CRT monitors would not be very fun to have to adjust all the time if you tilted the monitor around almost every time you wanted to play.

Silver:
Yes absolutely - I’m going for LCD so I can raise it and have a reasonable size. I’ve got a quality 27” CRT stashed away for when I get room/space/time/life to build something bigger and upright.

I’ve got a cocktail kit frame mostly built - much smaller than I realised. Trackballs etc unlikely to squeeze on so probably keep it simple with joystick and spinner.

It’s not designed to angle up so will figure out best approach...
