Your replies are very helpful, thanks.  I imagine the left
and right controllers are the same or almost the same on
the circuit board; the difference is only in the buttons.
Will check next time I have the machine apart.

May I add your information to  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Game_controller ?
It might interest others.

Thanks again,             ... Peter E.
