There are several different 220 outlets, depending on the current rating and whether or not it's a locking plug. Assuming the socket on the compressor is the same as your oven plug, you can probably find an extension at an electric supply house. Otherwise, you'd need a custom cord:

Either way, the extension cord will cost more than the used compressor.
