Dan:
You're correct of course. If the damage is something that will worsen then
corrective measures must be taken. This can be the case with lose Vulcanite
(slip a little glue under the edges and clamp it) or other such as an ELDIA
I acquired that had a marred crackle finish in one corner that had
corroded. I removed the corrosion with a fiberglass "pen" and coated the
exposed area with Sharpie. So far-so good.
Like you, I try to keep the equipment looking good.
Cheers!
