The wood filler idea does not work worth a crap when it comes to staining. I filled in a few spots on another radio and then stained the whole cabinet. The filler stuck out a sore thumb. At least it was in a spot not too obvious. I am terrible at veneer patching so that is a no go here. The other side of the cabinet is the same way. I might try the crayon idea but will wait for others to chime in.
