Do you have a DMM?  Of any way of measuring AC Amperes? If you do, you 
can measure capacitance. This is from an old text book and I have tested 
it against known values with sucess. It follows:

Find the Capacitive reactance: Xc=V/I  V=volts  I=Amps  Xc=Ohms

Now C=159,000/(F x Xc)  F=frequency in hertz  C=capacitance in uFd

Please, if anybody knows beter let me know.
