The Teac 2340 is a 1/4" open reel tape recorder. Once a very common high quality recording format, it is now becoming largely redundant. 1/4" tape is not as widely available as it was some years ago but it is still around and stocked by a few specialist suppliers. A search of "1/4 inch recording tape" will list several online suppliers.
Remember that magnetic tape has always been expensive. A 10.5" reel of tape is likely to cost a similar amount to a low cost MP3 recorder and will not store as much audio as the MP3 player. The signal stored on tape also decays over time and is sensitive to damp and temperature changes. Despite the problems, there is still something about open reel tape decks that makes them appealing. There are likely to be a few enthusiasts who will keep alive the tradition of open reel tape for many years to come.
Teac (Tascam) does not sell these parts anymore. The motor with the capstan would have been replaced as a whole part when Tascam stocked these parts. As an obsolete item, your best bet is to scour Ebay for the same model and buy it for parts.
Whether to buy a Teac Reel to Reel A-2300 for $154 depends on its condition and your interest in analog audio equipment. If the unit is in good working order and you appreciate vintage audio gear, it might be a worthwhile investment. Additionally, consider the availability of tapes and your intended use; if you're keen on exploring tape recording, it could be a fun purchase. However, if you're uncertain about maintenance or repair costs, you might want to weigh those factors before committing.
