Bob; it's doubtful the cap is the problem IMO. Those boards have all worked perfectly for me, even with 1000 uF caps installed. I would bet the problem is the 317T since everything else looks good. From the pix the center pin soldering looks a bit suspicious, though from the bottom it might be just fine. I would recheck that for sure. If that doesn't solve the problem i would cut out the 317 and put in a new one. They are pretty cheap after all. Several months back another gentleman was building a few of these and had some troubles. It turned out the pack of bulk 317's he bought had several defective ones. Seems hard to believe I know, it sure seemed odd to me. Don't think I have ever had a bad one. Worth checking.
