What you're looking for sounds a lot like the slide/pivot lash-up used

Ahh. Yes, very close. I am glad my description led you there. It
means at least somebody understood my description. :-)

The problem with those entertainment unit type hinges is that they
typically mount on the sides of the cabinet such as:

I need them to mount on the top and bottom of the cabinet. I could
almost use drawer slides (the method of affixing them would at least be
right) except that I don't think they have any strength when used in
that configuration.

Thanx for the idea though!
