Default BIG capacitors, 100wvdc.

I've got 30 large electrolytic capacitors (like soup cans)
to sell (12,000 and 8,300 µfd, working voltage 100dc,
purchased as new surplus), and they've been sitting is a
cabinet for 20 years. Is there a simple way to test them
to see if they're still good?


Yes. But possibly pointless. See below.


Any suggestions on where a
guy could sell a third of a farad of electrolytic capacitance?


Cap sizes have shrunk so much, you'll only sell these on ebay as NOS for
repairs.
