You found Tecmo Bowl the arcade game at a garage sale in Nebraska? Holy shit. Where are you at in Nebraska?

I don't believe that you'll find anything specific on Tecmo Bowl but you might find something based on whatever company developed the game. A good resource might be http://www.scoreonegames.com/ , which is located in Holdrege if you're close by. They buy, fix, and sell arcade games.

I don't know how much authenticity matters to you, but you could always go the MAME route.

By hooking a PC up you could run TSB, plus many other arcade games.

Here's a link I found on the site to a professional group that provides game pads for cabinets.

In any case, congrats on the find and good luck on a worthy project!

I have an arcade Tecmo Bowl also. It works great. 4 player is SO fun. It rules.

You can throw as many laterals in the backfield as you want and then still throw a forward pass. Laying guys out with flying crack-back blocks is one of the funnest things you can do in a video game, ever. Maybe one day I'll throw a tournament at my house, haha.

I'll take close-up pictures of the cabinet for you guys soon...
