I picked up this Peerless/Marshall 8mm WW lathe, motor, control, and base today. In addition to a nice collet assortment, it came with an attachment that I had never seen before. See pics.
I needed a dust cap for an old WW lathe that I am setting up for snailing - so here is how I made it...http://jamesriser.com/Making%20a%20New%20Bearing%20Dust%20Cap.pdf
As my eyes get older, more direct lighting is needed. Often it is difficult to get a standard light positioned so that it does not cut off vision. Such clip on book lights work well with my WW lathes. It is easy to snake the light into the required position.
For those interested...here is the screwhead polisher I just completed. I need to polish up a number of screwheads for a project and this will do the job. Various sizes of screws are held by collets tightened by the large knob.
I needed a specialized "crown gear" for an item that I will be manufacturing. Here is how I solved my problems in making the gear.

This will be a huge project with lots of experimentation along the way. For those who might want to watch the progress over the next few months, here is the link:

Enjoy.
