Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): 041AV Stihl Power Saw, exhaust port, muffler

Question
I have a 041AV Stihl chain saw and I use it regularly.  Several years ago the muffler cracked and I had it welded up, but recently the weld failed and ultimately the muffler broke completely away the bracket that bolts to the exhaust port.  The metal is so thin and has so many cracks, I doubt that it can be repaired again. I realize this saw is at least 40 years old, but it still runs better than most new ones and I sure hate to junk it just because of a bad muffler. Do you know of a source for a new one.
