In my prior post I mentioned a mistake where I attached 3/4" trim instead of the desired 1/2" trim. This caused the capping of a dado slot. That slot is what I would use to, later, slide the coin drop backboard in. By capping the top of it I will not be able to do that. The two pictures below show the capped slot and the design indicating how the trim should have been.
To fix this I decided to just extent the slot into the trim. When the top board was installed there would be a small hole on either side. Since this will be on the top of the cabinet and not typically seen, I was not too worried about my corrective action. I could just present it as ventilation if anyone were to ask. :)
To cut the slot I clamped a straight edge along the existing dado and carefully made 2 cuts. I then pieced out the rest with a chisel.
