A huge thanks to this incredibly generous donation and all the work that went into tracking down parts , testing , making cables and troubleshooting by Birdland Arcade to send us a fully working playable package ! This package also includes the legendary TD-I/O to upgrade from the stock Namco I/O which is currently installed .
