The Heathkit O-11 has a 5 MHz bandwidth, and color TV servicing was one of the intended applications for it. It is pretty typical of the scopes used by TV shops back in the day. Tektronix stuff was WAY too expensive for the typical TV shop.
As long as the scope still works, it should be fine. The biggest pain about using those old service grade scopes is the lack of calibration on the vertical attenuator and horizontal timebase. You can't be sure of actual amplitudes or frequencies with one of these things. A better grade scope will have vertical amplitude controls marked in V/division and horizontal sweeps in time/division so you can make actual MEASUREMENTS with the scope, not just see the waveform.
