Portland, OR aluminum frame repair needed.

This is my Easy Racers Gold Rush recumbent. The head tube has cracked along the joint with the "down" tube. It's had a good life and now I'm trying to determine if it's worth saving.

I'd like to go back to the manufacturer, but they are apparently no longer doing business. (The original owner passed away 15 years ago and his replacements have not kept the business going.) The frame is 6061- I think- but I don't know if it was heat-treated after welding.

Does anyone want to guess if it's repairable? I can bring it to any location around Portland, Oregon if you want a closer look.
