Well, the back story is this. When I bought the machine the plungers stuck unusually far out of the case. I did't run the machine. I let it sit for a couple of years or so until I could totally rebuild it. I am just now finishing the build. I tore the T20 down and the lining was very thin. I sent the bands off and had them relined (.040 thick material). I'm still not happy with the extent to which the plungers stick out of the case, so I tore it back down and am am now trying to get to the bottom of the mystery. Although I didn't measure it, I would estimate the plungers stuck out of the case at least half an inch with fresh band lining.
