OK, the question running through my mind is how this affects resale of our
old gear. Is that grandfathered in somehow, or is that no longer allowed
either? What about board level replacement parts, etc.?

I don't
think so. From what I understand, it's still OK to use leaded
solder (and components, etc) if you aren't going to sell the result (it's
for your own use).
Yes, but kit makers (and that includes me) can't sell kits or components
that contain lead. So an EU citizen might be able to legally build a
SBC6120, but I can't sell him parts for one.
