Black shoe polish might work, as tomlinmgt said; I like that idea.
What I've done on my black ash KEFs is clean them well and applied another layer of stain. you can find it in black in specialized woodworking stores and such.
Result was stunning, like a new speaker finish with deep black covering all the marks on the old veneer.
This, of course, wouldn't work great if there is a poly or other clear coat over stain.

Ive found peanut butter to work for scuffs. Dont ask me how i found that out...
Scuffs on black speakers...
Scuff with gray Scotch Brite pad to op0en up the finish. Using a rag, rub in Minwax or Cabot's black/ebony stain. All you need is a pint and you won't use it all. Let dry for 3 days. Finish with Danish furniture oil or bowling alley wax. Brand new!

I've used a black permanent marker and quickly wiped it off before it dries. Test it first on a non critical area to get the hang of it.

I tried the black shoe polish.....cheap and immediately available. It worked pretty darn well.
It did a pretty good job of covering some of the scuffs and scratches, but also brightened up the entire cabinet...all in all a pretty good solution for me. I liked the idea of refinishing the entire speaker with a black finish like suggested, but my sense is that these might have some sort of a poly coat finish.
Thanks for the suggestions.

ALOHA!
"Scott's Liquid Gold". Game, set match on making old scratched wood or veneered items look like new. This product is amazing. Commonly found in grocery stores or hardware stores. Many people treat their kitchen cabinets, paneling, wood flooring, and doors/trim with it so it's a common product that does not get any advertising any longer. It's been commercially available for a long time.
If Scotts does not hide the scratches to your satisfaction, then you can try "Old English Dark Wood Scratch Cover". I have very dark wood trim in one of my homes and it hides the scratches nicely.
Good luck
