[TenTec] Argo V Serial Port

[d.e.warnick at comcast.net]

I've seen literally thousands of DB-9's, but never one that is backward, as that one is. You need to replace it with a good one. I have several in the parts box, and could send you one if you're up to removing the old one and putting the correct part in place. Let me know. No cost to you. I'll just ship it
