Hi cjacek. Man, I have to say you are a really great member here. Thanks.What is the part # for your 122b?
Although I don't think they are the same. The 122b motor has 2 speeds and the part number is different. There is a lable on the back of the motor with this part number.

There are other wires as well. I read in another forum there is a transistor inside and some jumpers that are soldered for something er-other..I don't remember, but you have to solder them on new motors. My biggest problem is the speed thing. When I first bought this, the motor was sluggish, so I took it apart and oiled the bushings, which I later learned was a no no. However, it did allow the motor to run at the correct speeds, although there was still a very bad vibration, which I assumed was just a bad bushing. But then I moved and the unit was in storage for a year. When I powered it up, it would only run in fast mode, no matter if the switch was on low or high. I researched the possible reasons, which seemed to point to a bad transistor in the motor. Dang, I love this machine. They're so heavy duty and great transport design, at least compared to consumer decks. But I'll just set it aside and maybe come across a motor or another deck..who knows. Thanks again cjacek.
Yea, my exact sentiments. I think I'll shoot for a 122MK111, but their pretty expensive.Let me get this straight.................Tascam doesn't have capstan motors for a deck that hasn't been out of production for very long????
