D70, single flash through diffuser.
PP: Chanel mixer, levels/curves, UM, vignette layer.

Interesting that this brand of burner is till made, http://www.sievert.se/en/
It's been in my late father in laws shed since he died just over 20yrs ago.
Not sure how old it is, might send a copy to the company.

I like it. Great B&W treatment. Not sure whether I like cobwebs on it or not (if they are cobwebs).

Do it. Great shot.

Does the burner still work? (feed it Kerosene to find out) If it doesn't it most likely needs a new washer in the pump. The soldering iron looks like its had some work. My father had one too. Not sure what happened to it, though I do have several soldering irons.

I like it, but I think I would prefer it to be a bit lighter.

Yes they are cob webs, this is how it looks after sitting in the shed unused for 20 odd years.

The original file is a bit lighter, not sure why but my images often seem to look darker in Flickr ??

*phew*.... I was a little concerned about what I would find when I opened this thread... ;)

Its great btw.... leave the cobwebs even as it ads to the 'old' feel of the shot... :)
