2 more items purchased from Japan, graciously scanned by the lovely preservationist @hubz of GamingAlexandria fame.
The first one is an overview of the industry, released by a magazine that published beginning 1951. This publication is from 2011. It includes many rare photographs, even from before 1951. My favourite section is the collection of advertisements from each of the eras.
It also includes an article that references Nic Costa and Kazuo Sugiyama!

This next one is a brochure from a Pachinko Museum that was operated by a pachinko industry association. It is primarily focused on the mainstream pachinko industry, and does not include much information on Corinthian, smartball, arrangeball, sparrow ball, issen pachinko, or any of the other topics I am more interested in.
I would also caution at their version of history, as the pachinko industry does not seem committed to preservation and deep research nearly as much as projecting a positive and marketable image to the public.
I would like to learn where the museum collection went. They have a large repository of magazines, and I need to access all of the information in these magazines!
