my first modern pachinko: 2015 Ranma 1/2

I haven't tested for volume control on the joystick. I do wish there was more BGM though.
Odd about the shooter requiring both fingers. But at least I know that know. At first I thought it was flakey and that I would have to open it up.

Is it typical for machines to be made cyclic like that? Is it an easy conversion on these modern machines?

Aftermarket resellers are the ones who modify them to be cyclic; “processed” they call it. You just have to read the descriptions carefully; or buy from JT Comatz or Clover, theirs are unmolested. The cyclitic mod can probably be reversed; but you’ll have to glue in a piece of plastic and sand it down so the balls flow freely through spent ball chute out the back instead of the font. Not sure how it’s done though on that frame, all mine are “stock” besides some that have aftermarket volume controls installed. I’d remove the cell and post a pic of what the chutes look like. You may like it cyclitic; only need a few balls to play; but no huge ball payouts (besides what your battle counter indicated) and no ball lifter, ball management system/cabinet needed. Each way has its pluses and minuses.
