Unhappy 33 cracked brake drum

I took the 33 for a test drive and heard noises coming from the rear axle. I noticed the left rear wheel was a bit wobbly and removed it to fix it. That is when I noticed the drum has a long crack which is quite visible in photos 1 and 3 and which extends on the entire thickness of the cast. It also has several repaired areas with old welding. Took the drum to my friend at his machine shop and he said is not fixable. "Get another one" . What options do I have? (very unlikely I will find one around here). Anyone reproducing 33-34 drums? Will 32 or 35 fit with no adaptations? I believe mine is stock. Please provide some suggestions. Thank you. Manuel
