Coin Drop Backboard Update

Since having completed the coin slide I have spent a lot of time playing the pusher making sure things work as desired.  Early on I noticed a problem - when coins were dropped and hit the push platform quite often the would bounce out onto the play field.  A couple of times they even bounce out of the game and hit me in the stomach.  In an effort to prevent that bounce I taped this MDF strip across the bottom of the coin drop backboard.  This almost completely eliminated any bounce out and the few that do land no farther than the middle of the push platform.


Proven a good solution I will replace that MDF strip with walnut trim later in the build.
