On your list I've built the 490 twice and didn't have a problem. Not
sure what you mean by lead free, the parts or the solder? Search the
archives on this list for Paul's recommended solder, he may list it on
his site too. He likes organic solder for basic parts that you have to
wash in a sink. It's fun. :)
MOTM modules are super easy to build. You can find parts lists here
and there and Paul sells special parts kits for the hard to find
stuff. In the US you can find most stuff on Mouser or Digikey.
