The MAX3223 chip does exactly what you need. It converts 3.3 volt serial to RS232 levels. You can buy just the chip and add a few passives to a perf board and make what you need or buy a little PCB with the parts already soldered down like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/RS232-To-TTL-Converter-Modul

I'm pleased to report this TIC is now running again (albeit with some temporary hacks, such as a 7915 regulator). There were a couple of dried-out electrolytics, the shorted series-pass regulator referred to above, and an open-circuit 2N708 controlling the timebase gating. Another 2N708 died when
