Wait a minute, I see no cap attached to the output on Harry's diagram "photo 2"discussed here (haven't followed the other discussions), only one capacitor on the input side, in parallel with the battery until the latter is disconnected, which BTW isn't explained on the diagram. Is the diagram not complete?
