What else was not included

Change gears?
Carriage feed handle?
Outside chuck jaws?
Chuck wrench?
dead center?

I'm really not sure. I have zero experience or knowledge, yet. I assume nothing on that list as the pictures show exactly what I got.

Oh, you're missing the cross slide screw entirely, that's probably a bigger problem.
The big hole, with 2 hex drive cap screw heads slightly below, in the red plate next to the plug. There should be a screw handle there, and a screw, which connects to the tool holder and moves the tool across the lathe bed (cross slide).

[edit]I had highlighted the things I thought were priority to start turning, but then noticed the cross slide issue. Problem is, the screw must match the nut attached to the topslide. Without knowing if it's an exact match of existing machines, there'd be some risk of needing all those parts.

And perhaps the bigger question, why were they removed?

Thank you for the links; the one identifying the parts is quite helpful, I was actually going to look for something like that and you saved me a search. Cheers!

I'm not sure why it's missing any of the parts. While it's a worth consideration I can't answer it because I bought it from someone who said he bought it from someone else.

I expect I'll need to buy more than only a tail stock to get it up and running; like perhaps another cross slide.
