Carriage
The gears look fine, but I didn't think to flip around the apron.
The tailstock at center reard has a keyless Jacobs chuck mounted, along with a live center. There's several other Jacobs chucks included, both keyed and keyless, all with their own morse taper mount.
The cross slide and compound slide work nice and smoothly, with no perceptible backlash. The scales are very nice, and easily legible.
The lead screw in the foreground turns oh-so-smoothly in it's bearing, with no slip or runout.
I don't know how to check the micrometer stop, but in due time!
There's a hex wrench included for pretty much every screw I need, and a few more.

Tailstock
The tailstock does what tailstock do:
The ram extends and retracts smoothly, locks securely and mounts on the ways.
That rusty little surface gauge and the rusty bushing are the only rust I've yet found on the machine, accessories or tooling.

Tool Holders
There's left-hand, right-hand, center and parting tool holders included, plus 3 boring bars.
Plenty to get started, but I'm inclined to fabricate a quick change tool post.
For one thing, they're convenient. For another, it's a nice challenge to fabricate.

3-Jaw, Faceplates w/ Dogs, Jacobs Chucks
There's no 4-jaw chuck included, but there's a right-angle adapter, as described by Gingery, plus the Gingery V-block.
As solace, there's several sizes of chucks, both keyed and keyless, complete with chuck keys
There's also variously sized faceplates, plus drive dogs.
