The way I did it was to hit record on the tape machine, while at the same time, listening to and recording in PT the DI out of the tape machine (the one without delay) . If I got the take I wanted, I rewound the tape, switched the tape machine to playback, then made a new track and recorded the "tape" take into PT. Then I lined the two tracks up by zooming in. Finally, delete the original DI track.

I wouldn't want to guess where the take should have been by automatically sliding the track back. You also loose out on listening to what you're playing. It takes a little more time to do the 2 passes, but at least you'll know what you played is in the right place.
