Something along the lines of:
Great River ME-1NV-->Analog Recorder-->Rosetta 200 A/D-->SPDIF in to Mbox.
The million dollar question is whether I could still monitor out of pro tools while tracking to the machine. In other words, will the analog machine line out function while I am tracking to it? The idea is that the recorder would simply be one more step in the input chain.
I never track more than 2 at a time, so I'm thinking that if I can get around the monitoring issue, I could then take a finished mix out of Pro Tools and record a master bus mix to tape then back in for final conversion. Cheap way to get into analog?

You will have a very noticeable delay between the signal going onto the record head and coming off the repro head.
You could just monitor the live track before going to the tape machine (or monitor in simulsync off the record head while sending the repro head signal to ProTools). In either case, you'll have to then scoot the tracks back after every take to line them up in PT. And yeah, get something better than an Otari.
