Low Pass Capacitors

I have thoroughly confused myself on low pass capacitors.

One of my tele's has no tone knob. On the volume pot there is a tiny little low pass capacitor about the size of this dude . I don't know what technical size it is. I guy at a local store sent me a 1mf capacitor, but it's huge and doesn't look right. Another dude at a store sent me a new volume pot and said the capacitor is included, but it doesn't look right.

What I am trying to do is trick out a second tele the same way and am trying to find the right components to do so.

I am thinking I need a .05 or .047 capacitor, which I can have soldered to the volume pot in the same fashion as the tele I am copying.

Anybody out there that can help straighten out my thinking?

Thanks
