Taito 's Taitrovision EX shows design traits to later Teatro 50 Dual and practically nothing left from the older Taitrovision 50 apart maybe electronics alas no technical specs apart from extremely basic ones have been published so far (50" projector, large caster wheels, easy maintenance...) :

-Taitrovision EX prefigures the control panel enclosure design & graphics that will make it to the Teatro 50 which is also strikingly similar to that of Egret 29 . The whole 2 player module has a structure similar to Teatro 50 as well.

-projector monitor module now has a header (like Taito Teatro 50 and all Sega Megalo models, but unlike Taitrovision 50)

-a newly designed very round 2 player bench that will also be seen again later in the Teatro 50.

-the 2 player module, keeps the large stripes side graphics reminiscent of Taitrovision 50.

The 50" projector cabinet offered the option to be converted to a shooting cab. Earliest promo found up to now dates to late 1992.

In a nutshell, the Taitrovision Ex could pass as a prototype of the Teatro 50, it is so similar in appearance.
