LateLesley:
I'll second what silverback says. That output capacitor is not connected to the pin with the yellow wire.

The output capacitor is connected at row 14 - row 13, but the pin and yellow wire are on row 12, unconnected.

At least from what I can see in the pic.

I agree with Andy that you have the collector and emitter around the wrong way. Emitter (pin 3) should be going to ground, looks like it is going to 12V.
g0mgx:
Looks like the output cap is connected to fresh air.

I really dont like the 2 separate resistors in the same hole connecting to the base either.
Rtwo:
Plenty to look at, thanks all

Unfortunately I've not had time today to look at it further.
I'm now away at work until Christmas so I'll revisit it then.

Transistor seems to be OK. 2n2222a pinout is Emitter (1) - Base (2) - Collector (3).
Emitter will be pin 3 with the p2n2222a (PNP transistor)

But I agree that output capacitor is not connected with yellow wire and test pin. That should be your problem, and I didn't do the math but double check if you are biasing your transistor correctly.
