The 1500 is rated for up to 300c. So it shouldn't have a problem with lead free right? http://www.petlock.com/data/Heller_1500_specs.htm

We found the blowers were usually fine, but the capacitors strapped to the blower motors were failing. They were under $5 each from Digi/Mouser/Allied/RS. Worth keeping a few around. Last place had 12 Hellers including a 1500 doing ROHS with no is

Just a comment on the Heller 1500. We had 3 at a previous workplace where we never made the Pb-free transition (this was early 2000's). The ovens we had were not designed for and were never used for Pb-free processing yet every one of them had all o
