That's a good idea to save time. Now if it doesn't work I can adjust the tracking or skew and it should lock right up. Oh wait this is a computer no tracking, no skew and the only tension adjustment is to my neck. Oh the good ole days, well at least the old days. Heck I should be grateful I don't have to add additional AC and power for the Quad machines. I virtually fit an entire online bay in the back seat of my car and I didn't even use the trunk, it was full of all my test gear. Now if Phillip would just perfect that automatic editing software I could sit back and watch the computer do my job. That's probably coming too soon anyway.
