Here is a hack noted by Andrew Harris, and these are his photos.
This Chicago Coin Play Boy machine from 1947 has 2 teeth filed off on the credits wheel, thus ensuring it will never advance past 15 credits.

new book out: パチンコ四部作完結編 コリントゲーム史 (Pachinko tetralogy final edition: CORINTHIAN game history)
Kazuo Sugiyama, who runs the Birth of Pachinko Museum, has released a new book on the Corinthian game in Japan!
 |
| パチンコ四部作完結編 コリントゲーム史 (Pachinko tetralogy final edition Corinthian game history) |
A bunch of my research is referenced throughout the book!
He also released 2 ebooks in 2014, but I do not think there is anything in these ebooks that are not more robustly covered in his 4 published books.
- 2014: 戦前からあった台湾のパチンコ (Taiwanese pachinko that existed before the war) [ebook]
- 2014: コリントゲームと人生劇場 コリントゲームシリーズ (Corinthian Games and Theater of Life Corinthian Games Series) [ebook]
