Yes, Bunsen. There are various scratches (and not just your typical chips in the plastic; these are fairly deep) located on the right, bottom, and rear of the case. I found it difficult to photograph those scratches with my sister's Cybershot, hence why I didn't include them in the original post.
I can always borrow a DSLR camera from the University library, and attempt taking some pics of the damage, since I have the SE/30 on hand with me.
I realize that the plastics on these older compacts are deteriorating, and I know that many of these surviving units have suffered from some form of neglect from their previous owner(s). I have a couple of minor chips on my SE SuperDrive (mostly on the bottom) from many years of use, and moving around, but I tend to ignore it. If the cosmetic condition of my SE/30 were similar to my SE, then I would not have considered this an issue.
I'm not expecting perfection, but I would like to improve the overall condition of this SE/30 the best way I can. All of my other vintage computers are in decent shape, so there is no reason why this SE/30 shouldn't be as well.
