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 beleive (at least in the UK), what matters is the date the machine
(etc) was first sold in the EU. In other words you can sell second-hand
stuff that contains leaded solder.
I am not sure if it's illegal, though, for me to buy an old machine from
somebody in the States and have it sent to me.
