Yeah it did 😅
Kitronic was probably one of the few places I had left to search, they're basically like RadioShack but mainly sell to professional clients like schools, industry etc., but they do sell to consumers too.
They do specialise (as the name implies) in electronic and engineering based kits, and these parts are suggested for, not surprisingly, building pull-back cars.
It looks close to what I'm thinking of although I'll need to measure the diameter of the axle shaft on the dead motor to make sure any replacement motor will fit the axle removed from the dead motor.
I'm still also not totally convinced that the original is not a proprietary motor design with a considerable number of gears (there were 3) to reduce the output speed on the axle, but we shall see. As it stands, googling 'Tomy pullback motor' got me only pictures of ChoroQ and other TOMY clockwork toys, so I'm no closer to determining a specific model number or part number either which may help the search.
