"#version 1.0" doesn't support the "rotate -90*y" syntax so you can do
any of three things:-

1. Do it all in version 3.5, by changing the "ambient 0.3" to 
   "finish { ambient 0.3 }".

2. Do it all in version 1.0, by changing the "rotate -90*y" to 
   "rotate <0,-90,0>".

3. Do it in a mixture of versions by switching back to "#version 3.5" 
   (or "#version monitor" to revert to the default value that you saved) 
   before the "object { SYNCMASTER17  rotate -90*y }" line.
