I just had a guy drop off this beautiful 38-5. Probably one of the cleanest chassis I've seen yet (the photo is after a light scrub and wipedown) and it has something I've never seen before...it's original cardboard back.

The cabinet is in great shape except for some topcoat crackle, the typical scuffing at the base and this ONE blemish.

I'd like to preserve the original finish with some topcoats of fresh lacquer, but was looking for some advice on how I can better conceal that blemish. It looks like someone used some sort of epoxy (?) to fill a chipout. I was contemplating some sanding and topcoating, but I don't want to make it any more obvious than it already is. I've been burned "chasing problems" around before where I create a problem while trying to fix another.
