What kind of hinges are those?
never seen ones like that before

I am also interested about these hinges as they are screw in ones and am having difficulty in finding a decent pair!

I think they may be similar to these kitchen cupboard hinges:

I think they are slightly different. they look as if you do not need to router out a circle for the hinges to slot into.
Franco B:
You get get these from Screwfix in the UK. They may not open quite as much as those ones though but they may be worth a try:

I used them on my cocktail and they worked a treat but I was only opening a panel with no hangover though 90 degrees.

Its the hangover that worries me :-\ (not the drinking one..... :laugh2:)

predator314... steal away... I'm flattered.
You guys like the hinge... I did too. :)
It's from Rockler:

(and I wouldn't have known about Rockler if it hadn't been for this forum.)
No, you don't have to route out a hole... they fit flush against the surface.
But NOTE: you won't get >90 degrees of opening if you have more than, say a 3/4" overhang on the control panel top. Mine is 3/4".
Here's the detailed spec sheet that came in the bag with the hinges.
