What does "ribs" and "Radicon 'in this sentence? It seems sixties with all the ribs ... Radicon!
"Ribbing" in this context is probably decorative ridges, the speaker thought that the search object design 1960s style. The Radicon is / was a robot toy ( http://www.therobotshop.com/catalog/mini ... ) with this kind of retro design.
What is the context?
