It took some trial and error to get the configuration correct.  The bottom of the part it shows an arrow, the path of the IR light. (In laymen's terms I put it in backwards). Use 2 and just solder them in place of the one 8 pin originals. If you are really interested, you possible could breakout the new components from the plastic package and carefully place them in the original casings. I broke out a set  (IR emitter and detector) from the new ones to see the components.

The ITR 9608 was sourced from AliExpress, data sheets available after s search. BTW the replacement was the least of my problems. Old brittle cables and the lack of a strain relief on the dual joysticks cables made the wires easily breakable. If you want to put some time in , solder in some headers and connectors. Beware of also solder pads that easily separate . The ITRs are extremely inexpensive. Alot of work for the playing of 2 games, Slither and Victory that I have to test the controller, though it was a victory to get it to work. The pics are for the east/west sensor board. Suppose I should replace the north,south ones also.
