Ah...

Well, it shoud be until the PSU gets going :-).

I presume that delay is that 47uF capacitor charging up. So that's probably
not defective.

Or the transistor is open-circuit?

Still, you're now down to one simple-ish stage that presumably you can 
debug. 

Incidentally, I should get a copy of the schematics to Dave at the 
weekend for scanning.
