Tone POT wiring question

I am rewiring my Tele with 500k POTS I got the volume in OK, but the tone pot isn't affecting the tone of the guitar. I put in a push pull type pot in the tone position and have got the cap wired in. Can you tell where I am going wrong by looking at the picture below? I have tried wiring the cap into two places and nuttin????

Re: Tone POT wiring question

Its kinda hard to see in that picture. It looks like you have the cap soldered to the tone pot ok, but I can't quite tell where the other end goes. Normally, you would solder it to the pot case. The important thing is, that case then needs to be grounded. Either by a wire, or it may make a connection by bolting it into the Tele control plate. (Which assumes that the control plate itself is grounded.)
