Yeah, even stretched the orang is working fine. Fwiw the last change machine was hissing periodically and giving "ps5" on display. Replacing oring allowed steam pressure and proper function.
My machine is an early brewtus 2, I think 2005? On at least my 6th seal not counting the unsuitable home depot jobbers. Something else to mention. Napa sells a lube: silglyde? Used for o-rings on car's intercooler. Now using it on all the rubber bits I replace, recently the seals for the brew lever. Thoughts? Seals didn't want to seat without lube. Really impressed by how well this machine has held up. Impressed by the simple construction when the brew head was apart. $1500/9 years it has provided an amazing return on investment.
