Swinging motherboard for amusement device

An amusement device having a display, a memory and a controller, the amusement device comprising:

• a housing defining an internal cavity and a service opening;
• a chassis secured to the housing and positioned at least partially within the internal cavity, the chassis defining a chassis plane;
• a control board support defining a board plane and having a board side and a rear side;
• a motherboard mounted to the board side of the control board support;
• a slide mount secured to the rear side of the control board support, the slide mount having an elongated opening;
• and
• a joist mounted to the chassis, the joist including a pin positioned in the elongated opening, the control board being movable between a closed position and an open position by movement of the pin within the elongated opening, the control board support includes a locking flange extending therefrom, the locking flange positioned in facing engagement with the chassis in the closed position and spaced from the chassis in the open position the locking flange includes a lock plane, the lock plane being generally parallel to the chassis plane in the closed position and generally perpendicular to the chassis plane in the open position, the motherboard facing the service opening in the open position to provide access through the opening for service and repair.
