Don't worry, I didn't leave it that way.
After all the trouble I went to to get my hands on an old Lincoln stick welder, when I went to plug it in I found a vintage 220 dryer outlet where I had expected a serviceable 220 welder outlet to be. I went to Lowe's, bought a receptacle (and a plug, just in case) and came back just in time for it to be dark out. To leave the lights on would have meant to leave the breaker on, and even I wouldn't do that.
Aside from having to break the rust off of some screws, the install went without a hitch and once I restored the power, was greeted with the familiar low hum of the old buzz box. One more project, down.
