We were testing them horizontally, but it also did run them hanging in their vertical position. Same results.

We are sure they are MH. Although the ballast no longer has any information sheet on it. There was another of the same kind (though it had broken wires) that had a MH label. We also looked up the model number on the capacitor and it listed the ballast and Cap as being for a 250W MH system.
We stopped into a local Hydroponics today and he seemed to think it was the cap as well, but didn't have any. Aaron has gone to home depot to see if he can get one there and we'll try again later tonight.
Worst case we have to wait until tomorrow and we'll have 5 others to work with and see what we can get to work. LOL
