I have an old game (STRTRK.BAS) from my dad's Kaypro 10 that I would like to convert to a plain text file. Basically, what I'm trying to do is get it onto a modern computer in plain text format so I can look at the source code and print it (hardcopy).
This game is accessible on the K10 itself, by starting up OBASIC (an older version of MBASIC, itself a platform independent implementation of BASIC-80).
The source code can be listed once loaded (again, on the actual machine).
My guess is the best route would be to find a CP/M emulator and install a version of CP/M, OBASIC, and the program onto it, but I actually haven't had any luck finding something that will run on a modern Windows 7 setup.
Any ideas?

Would converting it on the K10 and uploading it through a serial connection be an option?

M-BASIC-80 knows the modifier "A" for the SAVE command - So, you should be able to create a readable ASCII file directly on the Kaypro computer by doing
LOAD "MYPROG.BAS"
LIST
SAVE "MYPROG.TXT",A
If you don't want to mess with old disks on a modern computer (I recommend you don't even start to look into this), your best bet would be to set up a serial RS-232 connection between the Kaypro and your modern machine - A suitable RS-232-USE dongle, a proper cable and a terminal program would suffice.
