My 83 came with a a dented tip plug. I was curious, so I called TI about it.
They said that the dent was so that it would be stronger. Apparently the
straight style plugs (like my TI-link and my 82 came with) had a habit of
breaking off inside the calc. Lot of good that did, as my dented tip broke
off inside my 83 anyways.
