There are a few of us on this list. I have a 509/405 combination. I  
don't know much about the 505, but I'm sure there are plenty of people  
who do here.

While you are waiting there are a few interesting Argo 509 videos on  
YouTube. There may be 505 ones, but to be honest I never looked.

If you don't have a manual, here is a link to the official Ten Tec  
download:
