Where can I get replacement cables of this kind?
What I'm looking for:
This is a 4.5 V cable which is part of an old set I once had. I don't have any parts number, but I know this comes in different lengths.

How exactly does the pull-back motor (12787) work?
I've got the 42034 Quad for my birthday and it's been really fun to play with technic after so many years.
