This is a solenoid controlled deck. INITIALLY I'd say your rewind button is stuck in the pushed position. sometimes dirt, grease, smoke narrow the clearance between the buttons. THEN I'd say the relay that controls the solenoid is stuck in the engaged position. THIRDLY I say the solenoid ITSELF has some metal filings or dirt in IT, and it is jammed. Let me know

most all twin well machines will play off one deck and record to the other.

using an outboard mic preamp will allow for less noise using the sm57. balanced mic cable with 3 pin xlr/cannon connections also reduce noise.

SOURCE: Tape reel on either deck stops and tape gets

Try replacing the belt, because when the belt is a bit old it looses its elasticity and it can't drive the whole thing properly.Tape A and Tape B works independently.

Probably.

Does the motor still turn?

Tascam 238 recording deck won't stop rewinding.

Well which is it 122 mk III or the 238?
The grease in the 122 will harden with time and gear crack or lose teeth. The deck needs to be worked on. There is myself in Chicago,
Russ in New Jersey that are still working Teac Technicians. There is Adrian in CA but I am not sure he wants to work on cassette decks.

Tascam 238 controls freeze up

This is a cam operated transport but the problem seems more related to a control circuit. I would need to see the unit to determine the exact cause. I am one of the few Tascam Technicians left- I m in the Chicago area, Russ is in New Jersey and Adrian is in CA.

If he wants you to get parts then I would suggest you get a different Technician. Why would any Technician want to go to the trouble and risk of the customer getting the wrong belt.
You can get a set of belts from Marrs Communications for that model.

Tascam 644 When I press play it won''t stay on play, it stops. It will rewind and fast forward but that too stops by itself.

Scott has a point. You need to determine what is causing the unit to stop and it could be a bad cam motor belt if it has one or the lack of take-up die to the bad idler or even a dead spot on the reel motor. The reel motor will work normally at high speeds due to inertia but at low speeds as are used in play the dead spot of the motor can become much more apparent.
