Adapters to what?
For antiquated computer gear including all kinds of adapters, the recycling place on Main St has a ton, much of it donated by me.

Mostly traffic counters.

Yeah, but USB-to-what? Serial port? Keyboard? Mouse?

Maybe something like this:

I recognize the FTDI chip from my excursion into JP1 remotes several years ago. Their stuff worked great, while the Delcom-based cable I tried did not.

Why are yall linking expensive arse ones?
Anything that uses the Prolific PL2303, FTDI FT232, or SiLabs CP2102 chipset should work great.
$8.99 Prolific-based serial-USB converter
Note that some shite just won't be compatible with USB adapters. Some stuff requires native serial support.

I linked to the first one I found. OP will have to determine what's suitable for him.

Now that you mention it, Prolific may have been the chip manufacturer for my bad JP1 experience. I do recognize that name. I'm certain that FTDI worked like a charm. YMMV, but that's why I recommended FTDI.

Thanks guys. I am going to buy every one of the ones posted.
Hopefully one of them will get these older sidefire radar units connecting to my computer.
