funny looking fostex ribbons??

They look like something that might be found aboard an alien spacecraft for probing purposes.
 
...it seems Fostex owned a patent on their "Printed Ribbon" technology (a ribbon that is much more durable than the conventional foil ribbon element)...judging by the price of the 2 models that were last in production, you might want to grab those guys...more details here on the later models that Fostex manufactured:

...here's a GS thread in which "Printed Ribbon" mics were discussed:

Those are odd looking. Makes me horny.

I tried a Fostex ribbon out last week but it was square-ish. Michael Wagener used those Fostex ribbons all through the 80's and 90's and didnt even know what a ribbon was, kept blowing them up and replacing them cause they sounded so good. If you are a rock guy, then I'd assume you've heard the Fostex cause Wageners done tons of rock that you've heard a million times.
