These worth the price of admission? I recall using them but for the life of me am not sure if the money would be better spent elsewhere.

I have no idea. Coincidentally, I notice that Aldi Germany is selling a NV instrument for 99 euro this week.

That Fero NV gear that CC linked to turns up reasonably frequently on the German Government-Surplus auction site. It's always marked "military goods - export licence required". If they granted licences, they must reckon that it's not likely to be very useful anymore.

That about sums it up. I personally wouldn't waste my money on anything without a micro channel plate (Gen II, III, III+)
