Think they wanted $350-400, & it needed to be gone thru- I assumed it didn't work, & the cabinet needed help, too, but that was the only one of them I ever saw. Would it be worth going back over there, & trying to make a deal on the thing, or just fuggeddaboutit? The Wife might "Stromberg-Carlson" my rear end, too, if you know what I mean...

Those porthole S-C's are actually pretty early. That price is nearing what an excellent working example would go for. They're very good sets, but not particularly high-dollar one's due to being large and heavy. In the condition that one is in, I would say $150 or so would be a more realistic price.
