Daisho Shoukai (spelled in romaji "Daisho Shokai" at first on promo material and conventions*) demoed what they claim to have been the first 50" projector cabinet with a 2 player seated seperate module as the Tenga at the AOU91 in Japan, featuring only SNK Neo-Geo games as they just partnered with the latter.
As such the Tenga existed only on its own, it never was rebranded as an SNK cabinet, but the Tenga model in question would later see a refresh in 1992 the next year at the AOU92 as the New Tenga 50, featuring a sleeker design shape for the side panels with new graphics and a shader hood on the seat module.
In 1993, a variant of said New Tenga 50 produced by Daisho for SNK, rebranded as the Neo 50 was presented at the AOU93 in Japan and demoed side by side with Daisho's own original New Tenga 50 model all in the same booth.
Dimensions differ depending on the adverts (the height given in some small ads was probably wrong claiming the monitor module (~1550mm) is circa the same height as the seat module (~1560mm) according to the two black and white ads see below in gallery) while the latest promo material from 1992 omitted said height measurements entirely :
- projector monitor module: 68cm depth x 171cm width .
- seat & control panel module: 1600mm depth x 830mm width
-minimal overall depth: 2300mm
- Daisho Shokai(1991-1992)/Daishou Shokai(1992 onward) in Japanese: "ダイショー商会" (DAISHŌ SHŌKAI), yet it never was phonetized in romaji this way officially by the company.
