Is there anything I can do to test a 833 on the bench - other then the obvious. It's been sitting with me for at least 13 years and i would bet it hadn't been used since the late 80's or early 90's

Might not be a bad time to change seals. Pull the side cover, look for abnormal wear. If it looks good, run it.

If it was good before it should be good now (if no rust/corrosion). I ain't a stick guy but replacing the seals sounds like a reasonable plan.

There is no way that I know of to functionally bench test an A833. If you have a burning desire to determine the condition, all you can do is disassemble the transmission, examine and/or evaluate the components, and go from there.
