- As the title states, I would like to touch up these very small corners near the T-Molding. What is the best practice? My guess was I have to take the T-Molding off, fill this damage with bondo, sand, and paint. Assuming the paint would blend in with the laminated black that is already covering most the side. This is pretty time consuming so if there is a better quick fix that people do I would love to hear it. Of course, for a quick touch up I guess you could just fill in with sharpie...

- Also, since this is such a small question I figured I would put a few in here, I noticed there are some threads from 2020 talking about fake 2N3055s from arcadeshop, is this still the case? Should I avoid buying those from them? I see they are for sale on digikey but for like $6 a piece. A far cry from the (20 for less than a dollar each) that was talked about in the thread from 2020...

- I noticed in that thread a resentment for cap kits, I always saw it as preventative maintenance but understand that some on here see it as an unnecessary repair. That thread talks about replacing the 2N3055s and leaving the rest untouched. I was wondering if cap kits are seen the same way for monitors? Is it a waste of time to replace the monitor caps in your opinion? Of course, if nothing is wrong to begin with?
