Actually I think the spelling is intentional and probably correct, given the message it's trying to get across.....

It compliments your good taste in furniture for buying it!! (We compliment you! You have good taste!)

And grammatically it's still correct.

Now if had said it compliments the furniture you already have (because you have good taste) then that would be wrong.

OK you pedants out there!

I think that equates to having a bet each way. If the author had've claimed that after seeing the ad in print, I'd call it retro justification.

Meanwhile, I hope that Pete finds one to complement his collection, on which I'm always happy to compliment him.

Yes GTC, you are right.

But the fact remains, you can complement one's furniture but not one's good taste! You compliment that.....

The Plymouth has 'Split-Level' styling like some houses of that 'Modernist' era!

Ian Robertson ..you can complement one's furniture but not one's good taste! You compliment that.....

I see what you are saying (I had read the Ad fast), but then it would be the TV that expresses a 'compliment'?
This case might present a dilemma for a machine grammar-checker

Curious, I constructed a faulty sentence for Word, LibreOffice-5 and on Google-cloud - and none of them flagged it!

Yes you are right and this probably why I like it, you see I'm a 50s and 60s collector and I have no mod cons apart from this little tablet I use.
My last house was a 50s house and it was decked out in every room in detail of the Era between 56 -63.
From the cutlery to furniture to the TV sets . The collection started about 16 years ago.
But about a year ago ,I had some changes in life and I had to move house.Now I live in a modern house and never really adjusted as yet.
I still have my collection ,but mostly in storage until I know where the next step in life will be.
On top of being a 50s collector, I'm a vintage TV fan and I have many sets from that Era.
Its been a lot of fun over the years collecting 50s stuff and ive met some great people who share the love for old things,

The design puts me in mind of the Hammond X-66 organ, which hit the market early 1967. It was Hammond's most expensive organ, priced at US$9,900 (US$72,500 today):

Very rare in Oz. Cost was almost as much as a house in Sydney. (Reportedly the Sydney Opera House concert hall used one while the Ronald Sharp pipe organ was being constructed. I have not been able to verify that.)

Speaking of Hammonds, I just picked up a free 1950's blonde-wood-finish model M3 (said to be the 'poor man's B3')(would go well in Vintage Pete's dream 1950s home!)

It had a new twin-pack of 6V6's inside - which wouldn't address problem, as its leaking coupling caps were prob cause of 6V6 failures!

I have an M-102 ('Whiter Shade of Pale') with 147 Leslie, and an S-6. I've restored the S-6, but the M-102 and 147 need work.

B-3's are quite rare here and fetch big dollars. Much different situation the USA. Can't believe the bargain prices they go for there. The A-100 is closer to the poor man's B-3.

GTC - I have an M-102 .. and an S-6

Both the S-6 and M-3's are ultra 1950's, and would be at home in any collectors' '50's revival homes!

I'm surprised by the cult following M-3's have and even see blogger on this forum, Nathan Brown, playing one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U8tLUtQH08 so it must be possible to still find them in NSW, (along with S-6's.) The S-6's have a steel balance weight in them which a friend removed in his (they are heavy enough without that!) They say Booker-T used an M-3 for original "Green Onions" recording, but is always seen with bigger Pro Hammonds on TV appearances.

The S-6's have a steel balance weight in them

Yes, the 5lb brick between the speakers to cancel baffle rumble on the bass notes, and the S-6 has plenty of bass! It's only a 10 watt amplifier but it packs a punch.

My S-6 comes from the USA. I converted it to 240 volts via an original NOS transformer. I have only ever seen one ad for an S-6 here. I have been searching for years for a genuine glass heel rest to complete the acquisition.

The M-102 and Leslie are 240 volt 50Hz from the factory. As you would know, the tone wheel generator needs to be geared to mains frequency.

I haven't seen any M-3s here, but then I haven't been looking either.

Some years back I did try to track down an X-66, but closest I came was Sweden. Shipping from there was out of the question.

But we digress ...

Back to the Astor Plymouth, the speakers could have been a lot bigger. There was plenty of space for two large ellipticals, but most of them seem to have tiny circular cones. By the way, the rose mahogany Plymouth I saved is now with TV Collector. I needed to make space for a Pye G63 stereogram.

Hi Sue,
Yes I did have one reply for the wanted post from Melbourne, but I have not heard from him again .
Never mind ,I will come across one at some stage.
I have lots of TV projects in restoration stage at the moment anyway.
