Thanks all for the help. I have the first version of the Altair 680, I
heard there was an Altair 680b, but I never seen a picture of it. I
remember the Turnkey model too, but that never interested me much. I
grew up around the Honeywell 1646 in High school and a front panel was
always an essential component even with all the terminals around the
school. I rcvd a reply on the altair computer club newsgroup from Tom
at virtualaltair.com with scanned image of the front panel at several
different resolutions.
Here's the link, if anyone needs this too.

In the 8800 that is exactly what it is called - a
Turnkey model. I was not
aware that there was a Turnkey 680 as well. It was intended for control
applications where you could lock the system after it was up and running.

But now I
have to find somebody who has scanned a good
version of the
front panel for an Altair 680. I hope someone who
has an Altair 680
could offer this.
I have a 680 but it's a weird turnkey version with no front
panel (just a switch and maybe a reset button).
