Removing Cabinet Parts
CpCaveman:
+1 for the electric saw multi tool, it does all jobs, holes for the coin door, monitor surround, trimming perspex panels (marquee panels etc, clamped properly) , that little block of wood will be no problem nails and all :) got mine from Argos (UK`ers :) ) does everything, made a couple of brackets holding the pieces in my hand, extremely useful for other non cab jobs too, and the blades are cheap (havent had to buy another yet but did look around incase :) ) but from your pics, you have enough room to take that out with a hacksaw. hell you could bang it out with a hammer :)

Have you tried simply prying out that wood block yet. Theres alot of talk of what cutting tools to use but have you determined there are screws holding it in.
from my experiences with commercial arcade cabinet, there are not many screws typically used and when they are used they are inserted from the inside of the cabinet, not from the outside.
you may just find its glued and stapled

This. Most of us in this thread assumed the pry out method with a chisel/hammer would be the first tried and then if any issuers were encountered, a cutting tool could be engaged.

I've been made aware that an oscillating tool is the way to go, which would work I think a straight vertical plunge cut on the sides, and cut it out like slicing a cake.
