Anybody know Mitsubishi? Looking for a specific 80s TV...

I got this 80s Mitsubishi TV when I was in my teens, and I have never seen one since. It was a good TV, I had it for 20 years or so. It started taking forever to "warm up" before the picture would quit being distorted. At the time, I had a good job, and I didn't bother trying to fix it (if I knew then what I know now, it was probably just a couple bad caps...). Anyhow, I regret that I gave it to another relative who had an MGA tv that needed parts. That person dumped both TVs when they moved, never having fixed either, but I digress...

It was maybe a 1986-ish model, probably a 19-20" blue mask CRT, grey front bezel, woodgrain plastic sides and top, front-facing stereo speakers on each side of the CRT. That TV had a great picture, and very good sound to it. Not much bass, but very loud and clear sounding. It also had a long door along the bottom that flipped down to reveal the controls.

I remember seeing "my tv" in a Showtime commercial, back when I still had the TV, and I was like "Hey, my TV is on TV!" LOL. That commercial is on youtube:

Basically, I am wondering if anybody might know the model number. I've just been feeling a little nostalgic lately, and I'd like to find that TV if it could be had cheap enough.
