Normal cabinet uses a shooter. For a time it was considered to be more of a chance of luck (gambling) than rolling the ball up the glass to a specific area of the PF. United roll down games didn't use legs but rather it sat on an extended cabinet underneath.
Games with shooters were considered gambling devices for a few years. The answer was the roll down version.
Quoted from PinballFever:Thanks for the answer. It helps me understand the reason for the rolldown version. I don't think the "extended cabinet underneath" was used for payout mechanisms?
It also must be a nightmare getting this cabinet with extended cabinet into your house or does it come apart?
I haven't owned a rolldown myself, but I have seen them with legs so apparently they come apart.
BTW if you are looking for a schematic:
