My dad had cut 1/4" off the bottom of the molding in front of the TV section to make room for the cedar boards to fit. You can see the cut in the first photo.
I carefully measured the radius of the bead and bought a beading bit for my router. Although it's obvious in the second photo, I didn't notice that the step isn't perpendicular to a tangent of the arc. I could still use the router bit to make a replacement molding, but I'd have to do it in two steps. First make the bead at the appropriate angle, then go back and make another cut to square up the step. The second cut would have to be precise.
It turns out that the molding goes up 1/2" under the top front trim so all I really have to do is remove the molding and slide it down to the bottom. The top will still be hidden by the trim.
Well, if I break the second molding removing it I at least have a cutter to try to make a replacement.
