A 5MHz scope could be used. Up until sometime in the 1970's that is what the repair shops would use. It would certainly be OK for audio or sweep waveforms.

The capacitor may play a roll. However tolerances on electrolytic caps were usually very wide, sometimes -20%/+80%, so they were seldom used if the value was critical. Modern electrolytics can have somewhat tighter tolerances, but still not great.
Of course the tube is also a possibility, as well as resistors.

It does sound like the pot is bad.
