Many gyms have a pull up machine on which there is a foot rest that allows you to take away a certain amount of weight anywhere from 5 pounds to 100 pounds. I've used it many times to continue pull-ups when I can no longer do any. I'll do 10 on my own, then 10 with 20 pounds of help then 10 with 50 pounds of help etc... You could do this in reverse, finding the amount of weight that allows you to do a pull up then decreasing that weight each week. My guess is you'd be doing unassisted pull-ups within a couple of weeks.
