The 30" was metal (30BP4). They were only used in the Royal Sovereign, and also in a Stromberg-Carlson set, I was told.
As far as Hawkeye, I haven't heard this.... But it wouldn't surprise me with the economy so bad and getting worse for the small & medium businessman, and with the limited demand for CRTs. The government still uses a lot of CRTs, and there are several rebuilders and manufacturers who do CRTs for the government only, but I believe Hawkeye and VDC are the only "open to the public" rebuilders. Gone are the days of TV repair shops with a CRT oven in the back...
