Ok, I got this welder today from my landlord, it used to belong to my grandpa and my landlord doesn't weld. I needed an Arc welder so it is now mine. This thing is probably from the turn of the century if I know grandpa. I figure I will clean it up a little and use it. The problem I have is it is 220 which is not really a problem as my compressor is also 220.

The plug on it is different however and won't plug in, so my question is what or how do I resolve this little predicament? Any suggestions are welcome.
