> I actually DO have a spare 1080, but the problem with it is that the picture is shifted a little high so the bottom inch or so isn't being used (it's really annoying).  On the 1080 you can adjust the vertical height but not the vertical position (I looked in vain, inside and out).  If I could somehow adjust the vertical position on it then I could easily use it with my IIgs.

According to it's service manual you can change the Vertical position.

Really sorry about the long google link, but it's a pdf, and I went to bombjack.org to grab the real link, but if you go there, you will see why I can't find the link. 

Anyways, on page 12 it says how to adjust the vertical position.  Hope it helps.
