The
production of the original TI-68 - introduced 1989 - was
shifted in the year 1995 to Malaysia and later to China.
You'll notice small changes in the design of
the calculator, e.g. position of the logos and size of the letters on the keys.
Digging deeper into the differences reveals some other - minor - changes:
The
plastic bezel around the display looks much cheaper and the screws around the
battery compartment found their way back to the calculator.
The financial sibbling of the TI-68, the BA II PLUS got the same changes. You get a picture of both models here.
