Question Opening up a Curtis 1238 AC controller?

Since I messed up my communication lines in the controller I'd like to open it up and poke around, but I don't even see a way to open it up, besides prying on, and damaging, the cover. Any clues?

Found out how to do it if anyone is interested. You unscrew the large brass contact pads on each terminal, then the cover should come off.

Just to update, I tried to do it to my controller and no go. I guess they don't unscrew but are press fit on, and you are supposed to be able to pull them off, but I had no luck. Maybe I wasn't pulling hard enough but I was using enough force that I was afraid something might break, so I stopped.

Is your 1238 controller a 550A one or 650A one?
